6 COVID DISCLOSURES The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is reported to be extremely contagious. The state of medical knowledge is evolving, but the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, and even possibly in the air. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms and therefore spread the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and currently there is no known treatment, cure, or vaccine for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death. Dallas Baptist University cannot prevent you from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while utilizing DBU’s in-person services or premises. It is not possible to prevent against the presence of the disease. Therefore, if you choose to utilize DBU’s services and/or enter onto DBU’s premises you may be exposing yourself to and/or increasing your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. Any individual who utilizes DBU’s in-person services or enters its premises understands the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 and voluntarily agrees to assume all of the foregoing risks and accepts sole responsibility for any injury that may arise. Estimated tuition, systemwide fees, and housing rates/fees for the 2020-21 academic year are on DBU’s website . Some or all instruction for all or part of the Academic Year 2020-21 may be delivered remotely. Tuition, mandatory fees, and housing rates/fees have been set regardless of the method of instruction and will not be refunded in the event instruction occurs remotely for any part of the Academic Year. In the event of a local, state, or national stay-at-home order, University Housing may remain open for students. In the event University Housing remains open, campus residents will be responsible for the costs assigned through their Housing Agreement.
