Mask Up!

Masks are required in campus buildings.

• Students and employees will be asked to provide their own masks, or one washable mask will be provided from the student services office.
• Masks are not required outside if social distancing can be maintained.

Students

• College Park residents will be required to wear masks in common spaces. Masks will not be required within their own living units.
• Students who choose not to wear masks will be asked to leave campus or be subject to the student discipline process.
• Students will not be permitted in class without a mask. Any student who refuses to leave class will be counted absent for the day and be reported to the Dean of Students.

Employees

• Masks are not required if an individual is alone in their office.
• Employees with a documented disability that prohibits the wearing of a mask will be allowed to work from home if possible. If it is not possible to work from home, the employee may use EFMLA.
• Faculty are required to use clear face masks while teaching. Clear masks will be provided.
• Faculty may remove their masks while teaching if they meet the following requirements:
  • They are at least 8 feet from any student, or behind a protective shield.
  • They clean the teaching station after they are finished using it for each non-consecutive course. If the instructor has back-to-back courses they are not required to clean as long as they are the only one using the station and clean the teaching station once leaving the classroom.
  • They wear their mask until they get to the teaching station and put it back on any time they leave the teaching station or a student approaches.
