Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need to come back to campus to work?

Most employees will return to on-campus work beginning in July; however, your weekly schedule will be determined by your supervisor. In general, you can expect work may be hybrid and build toward greater openness by the fall. Before returning to work, all employees are first required to take COVID-19 safety training.

Do I need to wear a face covering or practice physical distancing while working on campus?

The University continues to require all employees to wear face coverings while working indoors or in a vehicle, unless you are working alone. Face coverings are not required outdoors. Face coverings are available to all employees. You can request an N95 respirator to wear voluntarily (vaccinated or not) on the Risk Management and EHS website using the N95 Respirator Request Form for Voluntary Use.

Physical distancing and barrier requirements have been eliminated. However, if you have removed your face covering to eat or drink, physical distancing is required.
