AIC seeks to provide a safe campus environment for all campus community members and visitors. Off campus visitors migrate to AIC for a variety of reasons and all play an important role in the daily operations at the College. Due to increased health risks related to COVID-19, the College has greatly limited the college visitation policy.
AIC understands the importance of campus visitation and will implement a phased plan to bring visitors back to campus. Doing so will help to ensure the safety for all campus community members.
For the purpose of this policy, the term “visitor” refers to anyone who is not a currently enrolled AIC student or an employee.
AIC does not permit the visitation of minors for non-college related business purposes without the presence of a parent or guardian.
The AIC community believes that students need the backing of family, friends and other support networks to guide them while on their educational journey. We encourage students to maintain communication with all support networks while enrolled at AIC. However, during initial stages of the College’s reopening plan, we request that all campus visitation be limited.
Visitors of AIC students shall be required to check in with Campus Police upon arrival and departure from campus. Visitors must identify the student with whom they are meeting and the location of their visit.
As visitors are not permitted in residence halls initially, all visitations must take place in designated areas. Open areas for visitation will include the campus quad, outdoor seating areas, and common areas as described in the College Reopening Plan. Guest policy will be reviewed regularly and updated as milestones in key indicators are reached.
Physical distancing protocols and health and safety guidelines must be followed with all visitors to campus.
With the exception of the assigned move-in window, residential students will not be permitted to have guests in their residence hall for at least the first three weeks of classes. This includes non-AIC visitors as well as AIC students that do not live in their assigned residence hall. Guest policy will be reviewed regularly and updated as milestones in key indicators are reached.

Brief visitation from delivery personnel is essential in keeping AIC’s operational structure running. Delivery personnel should restrict their time on campus to essential duties only. Delivery personnel should report immediately to the office that they are visiting, limit delivery time. Delivery personnel should immediately depart from campus after the completion of delivery.
All delivery personnel will be required to comply with all health and safety standards as described in the Visitor Health and Safety Protocols.
It is essential for prospective students to visit campus in order to make an informed decision on their college plans. As such, AIC will permit limited visitation from outside visitors during the reopening process. Please note, the visitor policy will be reviewed regularly and will be updated as key indicators are reached.
Tours will be held by appointment only and will be limited to one family per visit, a maximum of eight individuals. All visitors will be required to follow AIC’s Health and Safety Protocols. In addition, visitors will be required to complete a health screening prior to arrival, confirmed upon arrival. All out of state visitors must follow recommended Massachusetts quarantine guidelines prior to arriving on campus. In order to protect the campus community, the tour route will be adjusted to limit time spent indoors and will exclude all campus residential facilities.
Virtual meetings and tours will be available for students and families unable to comply with Health and Safety Protocols.
A thorough cleaning of all high touch areas will be completed after each student visit.
AIC understands that sometimes it is difficult to complete college business remotely. AIC plans to reopen all offices, in a limited capacity, during Phase 3. At that time, AIC will welcome business and office visitors by appointment only. Visitors will be required to complete a health screening upon arrival. All out of state visitors must follow recommended Massachusetts quarantine guidelines prior to arriving on campus. A thorough cleaning of all high touch areas will be completed after each visit.
Virtual meetings are preferred and will be available for all guests unable to comply with Visitor Health and Safety protocols.
