Face covering guidance

Everyone on campus is required to wear a mask or face covering at all times with a limited number of exceptions. Please follow the additional guidance below.

• A face covering must be worn at all times both indoors and outside on campus, with the following exceptions:
  • When you are alone in your office or residence hall room.
  • When you are in your residence hall room with only your roommate.
  • Temporarily, when eating and drinking.
  • When you are alone in your personal vehicle.
  • When you are outside with no person within 6 feet, although you must carry your face covering in case others enter the space.
  • When a person has a medical or behavioral disability that makes them unable to wear a face covering.
• Face coverings or masks should cover your nose and mouth and be secured to the head. They should have two or more layers and be tight-fitting.
• Face shields must be combined with masks.
• Face coverings that are not acceptable and are prohibited for use on campus include:
  • Bandanas
  • Gaiters
  • Scarves
  • Cloth face coverings with one-way valves

Handling and caring for your masks

• Wash your hands before putting on and taking off your mask or face coverings.
• Only handle your mask by the ear loops.
• Take care not to touch the front of your mask or face covering.
  Store cloth masks or face coverings in a paper bag between use throughout the day.
• Launder daily.

Disciplinary actions

Refusal to wear a face covering is considered grounds to prohibit a student from attending class in person. The student may participate in the online component of the course, if available. Continued or repeated refusal to wear a face covering during in-person instruction will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action.
