As we approach the start of the fall semester, we expect that all members of our community take personal precautions. We expect all residents to wear a mask indoors, including in shared community spaces inside of residential buildings, in accordance with the CDC’s latest guidance.
If you are not vaccinated, get vaccinated to protect yourself if you are able to do so.
Vaccines are our most effective tool in combatting hospitalization and death due to COVID-19, and wearing masks can help prevent the spread of the virus. The choice not to be vaccinated or wearing a mask can increase your risk and jeopardize the health and well-being of those around you. Vaccines are readily available, and students living in UnionWest should strive to be fully vaccinated or have at least one shot of the vaccine no later than August 22.
UnionWest has limited isolation rooms that will be made available only to out-of-state and international students who need accommodations. In-state students needing to isolate must return home or isolate off campus at their own cost. This practice is in line with the State University System’s Health Policies for 2021-22, which state that universities are not expected to provide separate on-campus housing for individuals who are directed to quarantine because of exposure to COVID-19.
Thank you for taking responsibility for your own health and the well-being of those around you.
