Communications about fall semester 2021 to members of the University community, sharing information on COVID-19 efforts, health and travel guidance, and academic programming.
This information is current as of 2 p.m. on July 21, 2021.
In addition to planning updates, Provost Nancy Berner gives employees a reminder of the CDC guidance on masking. The new academic year dashboard will be launched Aug. 2; upload your vaccination documentation if you have not already done so.
The Fall Operational Group is working to clarify details and integrate the University’s fall planning; the provost shares some of the items being discussed. Reminder: Please upload your vaccination documentation if you have not already done so.
Provost Berner shares that students who are not vaccinated will participate in onboard testing as well as weekly surveillance testing. Masking will not be mandated in all classes, but faculty members (and meeting and event organizers) may require masks in classrooms, at meetings, lectures, or events, and for other gatherings.
For the coming academic year, the University’s COVID-19 containment strategy will largely move toward reliance on vaccinations rather than regular testing of all students and employees.
