COVID SAFETY
The target population of KuA students tend to be older and more vulnerable to COVID.  To keep everyone safe, the following COVID rules will apply. 
 
  • Everyone must have a completed COVID vaccination card.  Please bring a copy of your card to the first day of class for verification.   
  • Everyone will wear a face mask, which covers nose and mouth, in all classes. 
  • Please stay home if you are not feeling well.
