FAQs

Los Angeles County's Department of Public Health provides the following guidance:

People who test positive for COVID-19 need to isolate themselves from others (stay home) for at least 5 days after the start of symptoms or after the date of their first positive test to keep from transmitting the virus to others.  Isolation can end after Day 5, if:

• COVID-19 symptoms are not present or are mild and improving; and

• You have been fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medications).

DPH strongly recommends, but does not require, that infected residents have a negative test before leaving isolation between Day 6 and Day 10.

Residents leaving isolation after Day 5 should wear a well-fitting mask around others for a total of 10 days, especially in indoor settings. Please note that although individuals leaving isolation between days 6 – 10 need to wear a mask, people leaving isolation do not need to wear a mask if they have two sequential negative tests taken one day apart.

Those who wish to visit a particular office are encouraged to email the individual or office they wish to visit in advance. During regular hours of operation, the Campus Services Center (CSC), Computer Lab, Teaching and Learning Center, and Student Lounge will be open for use. In addition, CSC will be open at all times while there are classes or events on campus. If you are unsure of who to contact to make an appointment, you may email csc.aula@antioch.edu for assistance.

You should reserve campus space as far in advance as you can. This ensures it will be available to you and provides the best information to the facilities staff to prepare for your use. 

While social distance is recommended whenever possible or advised, there are no social distancing requirements. All of our classroom furniture is movable and can be configured in a number of ways and class sizes allow for there to be lots of space in most classrooms. If you need assistance with classroom set up or furniture, please notify the Campus Services Center is Suite A1030.

Yes. No-touch hand sanitizer and wipes dispensers are installed throughout the campus. AULA will provide masks for anyone who doesn’t have one. Please visit the Campus Services Center if you need a mask.

Classrooms are cleaned and all high-touch surfaces are wiped nightly.

If you have been on campus and test positive for COVID-19, please immediately report this positive test to COO Sandy Lee (slee2@antioch.edu or 310-578-1080 x3447) so that she can initiate contact tracing if necessary. 

Contact your faculty instructor, preferably before class, but in any case as soon as you are able. We recommend that you also copy your advisor if you are sending an email.

The Antioch University Counseling Center (AUCC) and Antioch Community Therapy Services (ACTS) are both mental health resources for members of the AULA community. 

The Antioch University Counseling Center, a sliding-fee scale mental health center, has provided distinguished service to the community since 1974. The AUCC offers psychotherapy and counseling at affordable prices to AULA students as well as members of the community. All services provided to Antioch students follow strict HIPPA Law protocols and, therefore, will never be made part of any students’ Antioch records. Services are provided under a broad spectrum of therapy models. Current services include individual, family, and group psychotherapy, career counseling, psychological testing, the International Counseling Center, and specialized counseling services for LGBTQ+ clients. Students experiencing difficulties are encouraged to seek help from the Counseling Center.

For in-person teaching, classroom facilities are prepared for a hybrid learning environment to accommodate the need for remote attendance as it arises. However, it is up to the faculty member or academic program to decide whether or not remote attendance is possible for class. Please contact individual faculty or your academic program to learn about remote attendance for specific courses.

You can continue to meet remotely using Zoom. Anyone who wants to meet in person can use a larger room (such as a classroom) for 1-on-1 meetings with students or larger groups. Please reserve space through the Campus Services Center. We will have several spaces available for this purpose. In order to book a room, contact the Campus Services Center by calling 310-578-1080 x3301 or by emailing csc.aula@antioch.edu. Please request rooms at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible.
