Employee Resources
As we return to campus, the top priority continues to be the health and safety of
everyone in our community. Federal, state and local data and guidelines have been
central to our planning efforts. Additionally, the concerns and priorities identified
by our community, students, and constituency groups are reflected in our policies.
All employees working on campus are expected to abide by the current safety measures:
- Face coverings / mask are required indoors unless you are working alone in a one-person office that has a door that can be closed. Face coverings/masks are required outdoors if you cannot maintain six-feet of distance from others.
- Self-check for symptoms daily prior to coming to campus. If you have any symptoms, please call your supervisor and Human Resources immediately and do NOT come to campus.
- Follow guidance provided by signage on campus regarding social distancing, face coverings, occupancy, and hygiene.
