Frequently Asked Questions
What steps are we taking to keep COVID-19 from campus?
We are continuing to actively monitor the situation with local, state, and national officials. We are also staying in communication with our peer schools and universities to make the most informed decisions about keeping Cate’s campus safe.
What about day students?
Once they arrive on campus for classes, day students will remain on campus until they go home for the evening.
We will ask that day students continue to limit their contact with people outside the Mesa as much as is reasonable.
How can I increase my chances of staying healthy?
We encourage families to focus on prevention as recommended by the CDC. Simple everyday steps, like washing your hands, avoiding contact with those who may have symptoms, and exercising self-care can make a difference in staying healthy. Please reference the CDC website for additional resources.
Who should I contact if I have further questions?
For any questions or concerns, please email questions@cate.org or contact your student’s advisor.
