As of right now, vaccinated individuals do not need to wear face coverings indoors when on campus.

All unvaccinated individuals are still required to wear face coverings while indoors and maintain social distancing, as well as monitor for COVID-19 symptoms. If we determine that masks are required indoors for vaccinated individuals, we will send out that information.
