Saint Mary’s to allow tri-campus students in residence halls

Beginning Tuesday, on-campus Saint Mary’s students will be able to host students from Notre Dame and Holy Cross in their residential halls, interim vice president for student affairs Gloria Roldán Jenkins announced in an email Monday.

Roldán Jenkins said the opening of the residential halls was based on “comfort that our tri-campus neighbors are experiencing a low number of positive COVID cases, have high vaccination rates and have continued strong compliance with masking requirements.”

Visiting hours and guest policies will still be in effect, with visitation hours listed as 10 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

All tri-campus students are subject to the College’s masking guidelines on the Saint Mary’s campus, the email said. In addition, off-campus visitors are still not permitted in halls due to high positivity rates in St. Joseph County.
