For the safety of our students, faculty, and staff, face coverings must be worn on campus and in a face-to-face classroom setting, with few, limited exceptions. Students whose health conditions could require an alternative to face coverings must contact the Disability Support Services Office. In addition to face coverings, social distancing must be adhered to.
It’s all here. Go get it.
