Handling and caring for your masks
- Wash your hands before putting on and taking off your mask or face coverings.

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.
