Face coverings must be worn by everyone inside university buildings. Face coverings must also be worn outdoors on campus when appropriate physical distancing is impractical or impossible. This requirement is a key component of a safe return to campus and is aligned with current guidance from the CDC. When used along with physical distancing, good health etiquette and surface disinfection, face coverings can help reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 to others. Face coverings are not required when alone in a private office or in a residence hall room alone or with a roommate. Individuals should bring their own face covering to campus.
Auburn will adhere to special guidelines for university events through Oct. 10.
All university domestic and international air travel is suspended. On March 19, a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory was issued by the Department of State, advising against all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19. Review recommendations from the CDC and U.S. Department of State before considering travel.
Campus visitors are expected to follow all safety protocols, including wearing a mask inside buildings. Social distancing and other good health etiquette is important for everyone on campus.
All employees and students are expected to watch a video and read a safety summary before returning to campus. A website that includes acknowledgement of COVID-19 risks on campus is available.
Campus buildings, including classrooms and student spaces, are cleaned and disinfected more frequently. Signage is posted to reinforce new safety protocols. Everyone on campus is expected to follow basic health protocols, including wearing a face covering indoors and even outdoors when physical distancing of 6 feet or more is not possible.
