As we plan for the 2021-2022 academic year, LeMoyne-Owen College has been actively addressing the new realities related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In response to the pandemic the College has developed COVID-19 Protocols based on guidance from the Shelby County Health Department (SCHD) and the Centers for Prevention and Disease Control (CDC).
The central focus of this plan is to protect our students, faculty, and staff. Our guiding principles are to prepare the campus to be a safe learning environment and workplace. We will accomplish this by mandating the vaccination for everyone on campus, managing and controlling access points, requiring facial coverings and physical distancing of all persons on campus (i.e., students, faculty, staff, administrators, contractors, vendors, and visitors), practicing social distancing, reducing touch points, providing alcohol-based sanitizer dispensers throughout the campus, and continually monitoring conditions and communicating changes to the campus community.
Vaccination Protocol Taking into consideration the surge of COVID-19 Delta and other variant cases nationwide and in Shelby County, specifically LeMoyne-Owen College will mandate vaccinations for faculty, staff and students who attend class in-person for Fall 2021.
With our campus community’s safety in mind, all LeMoyne-Owen College faculty and staff must be vaccinated or at least have their first vaccine dose by August 5, 2021. All students who will live and/or attend class on campus are required to have at least their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by August 5, 2021.If you are unable to take the vaccine due to health, religious, or other reasons, you may apply for an exemption.
All vaccinated students will receive a $1,000 tuition refund, and unvaccinated students will attend class via Microsoft Teams. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after having all doses of a vaccine (2 doses for Pfizer, Moderna; 1 dose for Johnson & Johnson).
For local vaccination locations visit: https://covid19.memphistn.gov/ All employees and students should complete the LOC COVID-19 Vaccination Upload Form and email a copy of their vaccination card to COVIDresponse@LOC.edu.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence.
