PSC Self-Assessment Mobile App

PSC faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to use the college’s new mobile app to easily complete their daily health screening assessments. As a reminder, this screening is a required part of the Smitty Safety and Civility Pledge.

Using the app takes just a few minutes each day. Users are asked to identify their role at the college (student, employee, Sodexo employee) and confirm four basic statements:

  • I have not experienced any symptoms of COVID-19.
  • I have not tested positive for COVID-19.
  • I have not had close contact (six feet or less without a mask for more than 15 minutes) with a confirmed COVID-19 case.
  • I have not traveled outside New York to one of the states listed on the NYS travel advisory.

Helpful links are provided for details on COVID-19 symptoms and the NYS travel advisory.

The app was developed in-house by Paul Smith’s College staff. We are grateful to the Nassau BOCES technology team, who shared their source code and expertise to help make this possible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why am I being asked to do this?

The COVID-19 global pandemic requires each of us to observe heightened health and safety precautions in the coming academic year. Getting into the habit of a daily self-assessment not only keeps you focused on your own health, it provides valuable data to help manage overall wellness of our community.

Are there costs involved?

No. The app is free to download and use.

Do I need a PSC account to use the app?

Yes. Once the app is downloaded and opened, you will be prompted to enter your PSC email address and network password.

Is the app mandatory?

Daily health screening is required as part of our Smitty Safety + Civility Pledge. The mobile app is a convenient tool for meeting this obligation.

If you prefer not to use the app, you can complete your daily health screening using a compatible web browser and can find the form here. If your web browser doesn’t work, first try to use a different browser. If that still doesn’t work, contact the IT department by emailing helpdesk@paulsmiths.edu to help resolve your issue.

What if I don't have a mobile device?

If you do not have a smartphone, tablet, or other device capable of running mobile apps, you can complete your daily health screening using a compatible web browser and can find the form here. If your web browser doesn’t work, try to use a different browser. If it still doesn’t work, contact the IT department by emailing helpdesk@paulsmiths.edu to help resolve your issue.

How is my personal information protected?

Results of your daily health screening are reported in a secure communication to Student Health Services (for students) or Human Resources (for employees). All personal data is handled securely. Consistent with HIPAA regulations, personal health data is not being recorded.

The app has no data access to the personal information on your mobile device.

Will the app use a lot of storage space on my device?

No. The Microsoft PowerApp Application is lightweight at 78.8mb.
