Campus Guidelines
UConn continues the summer session with the confidence that when we continue to all work together, we can succeed. Maintaining safety precautions and following the community expectations are necessary acts of support for all members of UConn Nation. We are mitigating risk through sound protocols and prevention efforts involving vaccination and testing, health screening and monitoring, community engagement, structural prevention measures, and cleaning and hygiene.
- UConn is continuously monitoring CDC guidance and guidelines set forth by the State of Connecticut.
- Signage on campus provides the community with relevant precautions and policies, as needed.
- COVID-19 health and safety resources can be found on the Environmental Health and Safety website.
- FAQs for Academic Operations can be found on the Office of the Provost website.
- Current Visitor Guidelines can be found on the Visitors page.
