Dear Tuskegee University Community,
As we strive to establish a roadmap to normalcy in campus operations, the SARS-COV2 virus that causes COVID19 remains a deadly pandemic that requires that the university maintain guidelines to decrease transmission. Our updated COVID-19 policies and procedures manual has been published on the website for your adherence. The policies and procedures manual sets out the mitigation measures that must be adhered to by faculty, staff, and students for the Fall of 2022 to keep the environment as safe as possible for ALL of us. These policies are designed with the best available practices and standards of care guidelines from state, local, and federal public health experts and agencies while increasing the face-to-face activities on our campus. With the ever-evolving nature of the COVID-19 virus, we will continue to update our guidelines as needed during the semester. Please ensure that you pay close attention to the COVID-19 microsite for these updates.
‘We have added high-quality air purification systems to our mitigation defenses located in many areas where large gatherings will be held and where many individuals frequently visit during the academic year, including “Chappie” James, Kresge Center, and the Chapel, to name a few. As everyone is expected to take responsibility for their own health, we also expect you to be considerate of the safety of others by wearing your mask while outside of your personal spaces.
Our very own Health Disparities Diagnostic Center, located in the historic Carver Research Building, continues to provide timely and accurate gold standard PCR testing for COVID-19. We are also a designated vaccination site, and regular vaccination clinics will be held during the semester. If you want to be tested for COVID-19 and vaccinated, please utilize the Golden Tiger Health Check and request an appointment. These resources are being made available to you free of charge as a part of our ongoing commitment to our students, colleagues, and all members of the Tuskegee University community. Please take advantage of these opportunities and adhere to the policies and procedures outlined so that our campus can remain as safe as possible.
PLEASE NOTE: We will begin the 2022-2023 Academic Year with 100% face-to-face classes and events.
