Fall 2023
It's important to remain aware of COVID-19 variants and vigilant in our efforts to stop their spread. We will maintain COVID protocols.
Masks are not required on 365英国上市官网’s campus. Classrooms are “mask optional” unless required by the faculty member teaching the class. Masking is also required for recently positive or exposed individuals until cleared. We encourage and support masking by anyone who feels doing so is in their and others’ best interests.
