Daily Health Self-checker:

For the start of the Fall semester, it is important that members of our community have resources for the self-monitoring of symptoms. Below are a few tools that can be used to complete daily health screenings before coming onto campus.

 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

PPE is critical for use by all members of our community to help keep one another safe from COVID-19. Everyone on campus needs to wear a mask at all times when they are in public or shared spaces, indoors or outdoors, on campus or off campus. Students in their resdience hall rooms will form a "family unit" with their roommate(s) and will not be asked to wear a mask inside their own rooms or apartments. Masks are most effective when they fit tightly to your face. Any gaps between the mask's seal and your face present a potential path for virus. Double-masking or a different style or shape of mask can help maintain a consistent fit. 

 

Resources for Laboratories:

It is critical for Principal Investigators in our campus labs to understand the importance of additional health and safety measures being implemented during the COVID-19 crisis. Additional information about lab safety is below.

 

Resources for Offices:

Below are resources for faculty and staff to ensure the health and well-being of those employees returning to work on campus.

 

Signage:

There is a comprehensive campus effort to ensure our community understands the health and safety guidelines through University signage. Building signage will be installed throughout academic spaces and resident halls no later than August 3rd.  Additional optional signage is available to order now through NovaDocs in iPRINT.  If after August 3rd you require additional previously installed signage, departments can request signage through NovaDocs in IPRINT at not cost.  For special requests not satisfied by the standard signs, please email Environmental Health & Safety for approval.

 

Training:

Faculty, staff and students will be required to complete health and safety training before returning to campus.

 

Visitors to Campus:

Visitors coming to campus will be required to wear masks and follow social distancing guidelines.

  • Campus Visitor Form – Coming Soon.

 

Cleaning and Disinfection:

Our facilities management team will be doing thorough campus cleans with EPA-approved disinfectants throughout the semester in all living and learning spaces.
