We have developed a January Intensives Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document for you in the hopes of answering common questions regarding COVID-19 precautions, Fairfield Inn information, and food options on and near campus (spoiler alert: there will be a number of meals available for free each week). Please check it out!

Luther Seminary’s COVID-19 protocols have required masks since the beginning of the pandemic, and this requirement remains in effect. Given the high COVID-19 test positivity and case rates in Ramsey and Hennepin counties as well as the new omicron variant, it is important for us all to adhere to this standard whenever we are on campus, regardless of our vaccination status. Masks can protect you and others, especially those who have not been vaccinated, such as children under 5.

Our mask policy remains limited to indoor areas; masks are not required outdoors. Individuals may remove masks when in private offices, but please remember to wear your mask in hallways.

Thank you for complying with our mask requirements. Helping one another stay healthy is one of the key things we can do to support community.

Each degree-seeking student may request reimbursement towards payment of a licensed counselor and/or spiritual director for up to $300 per academic year. Please see the Emotional Well Being Guide for more information. Please reach out (with confidentiality) to sempastor@luthersem.edu with any questions.

When you have receipts, please submit them in a timely manner through this form.
