With this new requirement, masks must be worn:

• In classrooms and classroom buildings, regardless of distance
• In personal meeting spaces, such as meetings with faculty and advisors
• When gathering in common spaces, such as the Student Center
• On-campus transportation

Exceptions include:

• Indoor areas when distanced
• When alone in offices and private workspaces
• In residence hall rooms
• While eating or drinking
• While exercising
• Faculty teaching, if distanced and behind plexiglass

The indoor masking requirement is intended to be temporary and will be reviewed after the first two weeks of classes. Guidance and data are continually reviewed by medical professionals and administrators working with the campus Situational Response Team and the UA System Health and Safety Task Force.

“Vaccinations are the key to a successful fall semester and the key to moving beyond these types of requirements,” stated Dr. Ricky Friend, dean of the College of Community Health Sciences. “Everyone is strongly encouraged to be vaccinated. Data continue to show the vaccines provide very strong protection against serious illness and hospitalization.”
