*The building will be open during the hours posted and during class times.
Please use your ID badge each time you enter the building. In the event of a confirmed COVID-19 case on campus, staff may use building access data to notify individuals of a potential exposure. If you enter the building without your ID badge, please sign in at the reception desk so our staff may notify you in the event of a potential COVID-19 exposure on campus.
Masks are required when entering the building. We have implemented increased, routine cleaning and disinfection of frequently touched surfaces (e.g., door handles, sink handles, drinking fountains, hand railings, and bathroom stalls). Hand sanitizer is available in public areas such as the reception desk and library.
Personal items (e.g., cell phones, other electronics) should be regularly cleaned and sanitized. Items that are difficult to clean or disinfect, such as electronic devices, books, pens, and other learning aids, should not be shared when possible.
Our classroom layouts have been modified to space seating at least 6 feet apart by placing smaller classes in larger rooms. We will continue to offer Digital Live/distance learning to help reduce the number of in-person attendees. Please contact your professor if you have questions about Digital Live or on-campus attendance options for your class.
Communal areas (such as the library, study rooms, and classrooms) will have staggered and restricted use at one time to ensure everyone can stay at least 6 feet apart.
Student support services, such as Soul Care spiritual formation groups, library, digital study groups, IT support services, and phone/internet-based advisement and student success services, continue to be digitally available.
While most of our campus services are available digitally, we recognize the possibility of having a COVID-19 case on campus. Should this occur, the following policies will be enacted:
If you have any questions regarding these policies, please contact our front desk at [email protected]. You can also obtain updated campus information by monitoring your GCTS e-mail or logging into your Canvas account and accessing the Charlotte Registration hub.
We appreciate your continued efforts to keep our campus safe, and we look forward to another great year here at Gordon-Conwell.

The staff wishes that we did not have to place these limitations on library use at this time. However, we are concerned for your safety and our safety. Pray with us that the Lord will give wisdom to all of those working on treatments and vaccines.

While the campus remains closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the campus bookstore will be closed as well. As a result, products like summer course textbooks and diploma frames will not be available for sale. We look forward to reopening the store as soon as it is safe to do so.

Dr. Sunquist and the leadership of the seminary have made the difficult decision that we will not be holding commencement this May on any of the campuses. They are considering ways to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of the students. This includes the option for celebrations on the campuses at a later date. Degrees will still be conferred in May for those graduating.
All spring residencies will all meet digitally. Students should check Canvas for instruction and updates from their professors.
