Fall 2020 at Madison College

Safety is everyone's responsibility

Maintaining a healthy campus will take the commitment of our entire community. Everyone must follow our new safety protocols.



Failure to comply:

The College takes the safety of all community members seriously and expects all individuals to become familiar with and comply with all expectations within this policy. Community members who violate this policy may be restricted from campus for the day. A repeated violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal for students and employment release for employees. For third parties (e.g., guests, contractors), it may result in removal from campus property or termination of a specific lease/permit/contract.

College community members who cannot wear face coverings due to a medical or other health condition should contact Disability Resource Services (for students and guests) or Human Resources (for employees) to discuss reasonable accommodations.

Reporting a concern:

We each play a role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and keeping our College community safe. Every community member is encouraged to address peers, colleagues, and students who may need a friendly reminder of social distancing and face-covering requirements. All Madison College students and employees have the right to respectfully ask college community members to wear a face covering if they are not wearing one in a required setting. If members of the campus community do not have a face covering, they should be directed to a Welcome Center or Public Safety Services and a mask will be provided.

In circumstances where members of our community do not feel safe addressing and educating others about this policy, or if there are repeated violations of this policy, please direct concerns to our COVID Screener at CovidScreener@madisoncollege.edu or 608.243.4880.

Academic instruction

Make progress toward your degree with our wide array of online and hybrid courses. The Fall schedule is flexible, offering you options that fit your learning style and ensures the health and safety of the Madison College community. While most classes have online and online live formats, those that require in-person instruction will have a hybrid format which combines in-person and online instruction. Fall revisions continue daily, but we anticipate approximately 70% of our courses will be offered in remote formats. For programs, credentials and courses that require some in-person instruction, the focus is on hybrid delivery. Fully in-person classes will be extremely limited to targeted occupational programs. All classroom capacities have been adjusted to allow for safe physical distancing.

If the college needs to pivot to fully online instruction before Thanksgiving, after which all courses will be online wherever possible, contingency plans are in place to minimize disruption and maximize your ability to successfully complete your classes. If your program requires in-person classes and you cannot attend, advisors and faculty will help you find alternatives that fit your schedule and keep you on track to your goals.

Students will be offered the Credit/No Credit grade option again this fall.

Covid-19 and other infectious diseases and viruses are active in our local communities. While Madison College cannot guarantee that our campus is free of infectious disease, with everyone working together we can reduce the risk of transmission of these diseases within our community. We have adopted rules that are designed to reduce the risk of transmission of these diseases and viruses on campus. The rules are based on guidance and recommendations from state and local health experts and authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control, and more. We expect that all students, staff and faculty will become familiar with the rules and comply with them as part of an overall effort to make our campus as safe as possible. We take the safety of our students, faculty and staff seriously. Failure to comply with the rules may lead to disciplinary action up to and including exclusion from campus. Questions about the rules should be directed to Geraldo VilaCruz PhD., Dean of Students, 608-243-4555 / deanofstudents@madisoncollege.edu (students and guests) OR employeerelations@madisoncollege.edu. Thank you for your cooperation.
