Technologies to Keep You Safe

The University of Miami has developed new technologies that enable our students, faculty, and staff to safely return to our campuses. To protect the public health of the University, all members of the community are required to adhere to safety standards established for the campuses and the workplace.

Attestation Form


An online health screening is required for all faculty and staff before returning to campus.

To begin this process, the manager is responsible for identifying the employee and expected return date at least three calendar days prior to the employee's return date.

If you are identified by your manager to return to campus, you will receive a link to the attestation form via email, which will need to be completed prior to returning to campus for the first time, as well as after any leave of absence or extended absence from campus.

MANAGER - IDENTIFY AN EMPLOYEE RETURNING TO CAMPUS

Daily Symptom Checker


Students, faculty, and staff who are on campus are required to use a daily symptom checker and respond appropriately to the guidance it provides. (Note: Students are required to test negative for COVID-19 before returning to campus and before accessing the daily symptom checker. For details, please review information for students on the Coronavirus website.)

The daily symptom checker takes no more than two minutes to complete and is available online (click here) or via the UMiami mobile app (available for download from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone/iOS)).

  • Attestation Form

    What do I need to know about the return to campus attestation form?

    Before returning to campus, faculty will be required to complete an online attestation form via a tool developed by the University to screen for COVID-19 symptoms. If you are identified by your manager to return to campus, you will receive a link to the attestation form via email, which will need to be completed prior to returning to campus for the first time, as well as after any leave of absence or extended absence from campus. You will need your employee ID and a phone number where you can be readily reached for any follow-up details that may be needed.

    You will be asked to answer questions about current symptoms, potential exposure, and other risk factors to provide guidance on actions to take related to your health status at the time. You must follow the guidance provided at the end of this attestation form. (Note: This is a replacement of the current COVID-19 return to work assessment tool.)

    What are the criteria for returning to work on campus?

    Overall, all employees who will be returning to campus will need to complete a return to campus attestation form via the University's screening tool. Managers must identify the employee and the return date at least three calendar days prior to the employee's return date. The attestation form will be automatically emailed to the identified employee (employees cannot assign this to themselves).

    Your manager, dean, or executive leader will let you know if you will need to return to campus/your work location, as well as when you should plan to return. If an employee is scheduled to return to campus, the employee must complete the return to campus attestation form to receive guidance based on responses to the attestation form.

    If you can continue to complete your job functions from home, there is no plan for you to return at this time.

    Employees who are deemed to be at high risk for COVID-19 will receive guidance from the attestation tool on a course of action. The employee should contact their manager, dean, or executive leader to indicate that guidance.

Manager

  • Initiating the Return to Campus Attestation Form

    What steps should I follow as a manager of someone who may be returning to campus?

    As a manager of an employee who is returning to campus, you must identify all returning/returned employees*. Please be aware that this process needs to be done at least three calendar days prior to the employee's return date. (For those employees who have already been working on campus and have not yet completed the online clearance process, please enter the employee's information in the system immediately, and ensure they complete the attestation form.)

    IDENTIFY AN EMPLOYEE RETURNING TO CAMPUS

    Once you have entered the employee's information, the employee will receive an attestation form via email that they will need to complete within 24 hours of receipt. This form will determine the employee's eligibility to return to campus and the system will send them and you (as their manager) an email confirmation of their eligibility or next steps. If the attestation status is "Cleared" they can return to campus, and the employee may then pick up their "safe return kit."

    A manager may assign a proxy to enter the employee's return information at least three calendar days prior to the employee's return date

    To access the manager attestation form dashboard, visit umiamicx.co1.qualtrics.com. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard specific to you based on your role, (e.g., HR partner, employee health, or manager).

    For more information, including a tutorial video on the attestation process and accessing the dashboard, please visit the MyHR COVID-19 Manager Resources page.

    *Note: Upon entering an employee's name in the online form the first time, you may notice there is a slight delay in the drop-down menu. This is due to the employee data rendering for the first time in the background. Please type the employee's name and allow a few moments for the drop-down content to load.
