The University has relaxed its COVID-19 mask mandates for both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals with a few exceptions.
The University may, at its discretion, reinstate masking protocols if or when conditions related to COVID-19 change.
This decision is based on declining infections and the relaxation of safety protocols nationwide. The University recommends vaccination, including booster shots, as the best defense against COVID-19.
If you have not been vaccinated, please consider protecting yourself and others by getting your shot. Please visit our COVID page for up-to-date masking exceptions and local information.
