What to Expect

Welcome, and welcome back to SAIC. Things might be a little different since you were last on campus, so make sure you know what to do before you get here.  

Community Expectations

As we return to a more normal on-campus experience, all students, faculty, and staff are expected to follow SAIC’s health and safety guidelines, including by getting vaccinated against COVID-19. These protocols are informed by guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH), and public health expert Terri Rebmann, PhD, RN, CIC, FAPIC.

Academics
