Regarding on-campus services, out of care and concern for the health and safety of the entire campus community, all faculty, employees, community members, and students who are on campus and indoors must wear a mask. If you do not have a mask, we can provide you one at any of the Student Services areas or designated Welcome Centers. Additionally, your professor will have access to disposable masks to distribute to you, should you require a replacement mask during class.
