STAR Center updates campus requirements for COVID-19 prevention

In consideration of the current campus environment at STAR Center, which includes students and staff who are vaccinated and those who are not, our campus protocols have been amended. The following trustee-directed and approved protocols will continue to apply to all individuals while attending STAR Center regardless of vaccination status. These protocols will be reviewed and amended as appropriate, and at least monthly thereafter.

Please remember these on-campus requirements are in place to prevent coronavirus contagion and to help ensure the safety of AMO members and applicants, and AMO Plans and STAR Center staff. The only way to ensure STAR Center can remain open and operational to provide required training and upgrade courses for AMO members and applicants is to prevent the introduction and spread of coronavirus on campus.
