COVID-19 Campus Guidelines

Important: Updated Spring 2022 Instructional Guidelines

University leadership has urged all faculty, students, and staff to model the vaccination, testing, and masking behaviors we want to see in our campus community. These include: • Vaccination • Masking indoors • If unvaccinated, getting weekly asymptomatic coronavirus testing • Quarantining after exposure

Vaccination

Get a COVID-19 vaccination and the booster shot recommended for pairing with your vaccine if you have not already done so. Vaccination is proving highly effective in preventing severe COVID-19 symptoms, hospitalization, and death from coronavirus. Vaccination is the single best way to stop this COVID resurgence in its tracks.
University of Utah students are required (as of August 27, 2021) to complete a cycle of COVID-19 vaccination and booster shot with an approved vaccine, or complete an exemption form. The university provides three convenient vaccination options:
- Attend one of the regularly scheduled vaccine events Links to an external site. at the Student Union on campus.
- Schedule an appointment with Student Health Links to an external site..
- Visit My Chart Links to an external site., Vaccine Information Links to an external site., or CDC Vaccine.gov Links to an external site. to schedule your vaccination.

Masking

While masks are not required outside of Health Sciences facilities, UTA buses, and campus shuttles, CDC guidelines now call for everyone to wear face masks indoors.
- Check the CDC website Links to an external site. periodically for masking updates
  - With high transmission rates in Salt Lake County, the CDC recommends: “Everyone should wear a mask in public indoor settings.”
- Treat masks like seasonal clothing (i.e.during community surges in COVID transmission, masks are strongly encouraged indoors and in close groups outside).
- In cases of classroom exposure, masks should be worn for the quarantine period (see details below).

Testing

If you are not yet vaccinated, get weekly asymptomatic coronavirus tests. This is a helpful way to protect yourself and those around you because asymptomatic individuals can unknowingly spread the coronavirus to others.
- Asymptomatic testing centers are open and convenient:
  - Online scheduling Links to an external site.
  - Saliva test (no nasal swabs)
  - Free to all students returning to campus (required for students in University housing)
  - Results often within 24 hours
  - Visit Testing and Vaccine Information Links to an external site. Campus Alert
Remember: Students must self-report if they test positive for COVID-19 via the Campus Covid Response Links to an external site. webpage.

Student Mental Health Resources

Rates of burnout, anxiety, depression, isolation, and loneliness have noticeably increased during the pandemic. If you need help, reach out for campus mental health resources, including counseling, training, and other support.
Consider participating in a Mental Health First Aid Links to an external site. or other wellness-themed training Links to an external site. provided by our Center for Student Wellness and sharing these opportunities with your peers, teaching assistants, and department colleagues.

Students are required to self-report if they test positive for COVID-19. To report, please contact:
