    • Required to declare vaccination status to be employed by the University or to participate in certain designated activities including athletics and some performing arts groups
    • Required to immediately report any symptoms linked to COVID-19 to the COVID Resource Center (CRC) and be tested for the virus

    Non-vaccinated Individuals

    • Required to mask indoors
    • Required to quarantine if exposed to COVID-19
    • Required to test regularly to be employed by the University or to participate in certain designated activities including athletics and some performing arts groups
