Detailed information about the current health and safety policies in France can be found on the French government’s website, where all rules and regulations are explained. Please
continue to check back regularly for updates regarding restrictions and guidelines.
We recommend that all students planning to travel to France contact their travel provider/airline for confirmation of flight and travel to France. We also advise students to contact their local French consulate for updated travel guidance.
We
strongly urge you to continue to follow all health and safety measures that have been put in place. If you experience any symptoms related to COVID-19 or that look like possible manifestations of the virus, you should remain at home and inform your
instructors and Student Success.
We continue to monitor new developments related to the pandemic and will keep you updated on important changes to our policies and procedures.
Please find below several key points of information for students during this time.
Access to Campus
In order to access campus, all students, faculty, staff and visitors are no longer required to present a valid vaccination pass. Students should email their faculty to book campus spaces and/or access specialized equipment outside of class time.
Summer Programs
In line with current recommendations from the French government, masks are required for faculty and students while inside the Parsons Paris building and during excursions to closed spaces (transportation, museums, etc). Proof of a positive test (auto-test
or antigenic) is required to excuse any absences related to COVID-19.
Vaccination Pass
As of Monday, March 14, the vaccination pass requirement was lifted in France. In addition, masks are no longer required except in transport and health establishments.
Travel to and from France
Rules for entering and leaving France depend on the traveler's country of origin or destination, reason for travel, and vaccination status. Please refer to the French government's FAQs for foreign nationals to find detailed information.
Academic Calendar
Please consult the 2021-2022 academic calendar to keep track of important dates and deadlines.
For more information about the school’s COVID-19 planning,
or if you have questions, please contact the coordinator from your unit:
I. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
As of March 14, 2022, the wearing of masks is no longer mandatory to enter Parsons Paris buildings. You may continue to wear a mask at your own discretion. We must continue to remain vigilant and continue to keep areas clean, wash hands often, and get tested if experiencing any symptoms as we are aware that the virus continues to circulate.
II. Monitoring Symptoms
Any individual displaying symptoms related to COVID-19 or that look like possible manifestations of the virus should remain at home. If you start to display symptoms while you are on campus, please alert the security guard and return home as soon as possible.
We have requested that the security guard notify Student Success.
Students showing symptoms should get tested and inform Student Success of the results. Faculty and staff showing symptoms should get tested and inform Loren Ringer of the results.
