Face Coverings

Wear a face covering over the nose and mouth to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

All faculty, staff and students are required to wear face coverings in classrooms, labs, communal office space, on-campus gatherings, and in any indoor or outdoor campus setting where physical distancing is difficult to maintain.

Physical Distancing

Avoid close contact with others by maintaining at least six feet of physical distance from others.

Physical distancing modifications are being made to on-campus housing, on-campus dining facilities, classrooms, common areas and study spaces for the fall.

Wash Hands

Maintain good personal hygiene by washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol.

Self-screening

Conduct a daily self-screening to assess for symptoms, stay home when sick, and seek medical care if needed. 

All USM faculty, staff and students are required to self-screen each day for symptoms of COVID-19 before coming onto any University property or going to class.
