CDC Guidelines
There are currently no CDC guidelines requiring isolation or quarantine. Please see the links below for more information:
In the event we experience a significant resurgence of COVID-19 infections or a related event, we may choose to implement any or all of the following health and safety measures:
- Require face coverings in all classes, labs and libraries.
- Resume contact tracing.
- Require face coverings on campus at all times.
- Resume surveillance testing.
- Cancel indoor rentals of non-university events.
While we hope that we are not put in a position to have to reinstate these more stringent measures, we are prepared to do what it takes to create a safer and healthier environment for our campus community.
