University Response to COVID-19

Keep your distance. 

Stay at least 6 feet apart from others when possible. Avoid gathering in groups greater than five people, and avoid gathering or conducting activities on pedestrian walkways, near build entrances and exits, and other easily congested areas. If you feel sick, stay home.

Wash your hands frequently.

Wear a mask.

Face coverings are required on campus. (Bandanas and vented face masks do not meet this requirement.) 

Masks are to be worn:

Anywhere outside on campus, whether you are alone or with others
Inside all campus building public spaces
Inside all campus labs and classrooms—even for those teaching behind a screen
Inside all offices and work spaces that are currently or frequently occupied by more than one person
By anyone working, living or visiting campus
 

Masks do not need to be worn:

Inside your residential room with the door closed
Inside a private office with the door closed
While eating or drinking
If you have a medical or other issue that prevents safe use of a mask
 

Disinfect objects and surfaces.

Use disinfecting wipes to clean surfaces and frequently touched objects like doorknobs and phones. 

Be stingy with your stuff.

Avoid sharing items or setting down your items in common areas, such as bathrooms. Use a tote to carry your items. If you need to share something, clean and disinfect it first. 

Have a meal plan.

Avoid sharing food and dining items with others. Pick up grab-and-go options when possible.
