• Pioneer Pledge – We require that all students, staff and faculty electronically sign the Pioneer Pledge, demonstrating a commitment to following the guidelines and expectations put in place during the pandemic. The Pioneer Pledge is available as a notification link you will see when you log into WPConnect. If you have not already done so, please click on the notification link to review and sign. 

• COVID-19 Training – We require that all students view the online COVID-19 educational training. This twenty-minute training video provides information on the symptoms of COVID-19, efforts you can make to lessen the likelihood of spreading/contracting COVID-19, and the steps that you should take in the event that you become ill. The training is located on the University reopening page, at https://wpunj.edu/reopening/student-covid-19-training.

• Face Covering – Everyone on campus will be required to wear a face covering (mask) on campus except when in a private space, such as a residence hall room. We expect that students will come to campus with their own masks; however, we will also provide one to each resident student and have locations throughout campus (will provide separate communication on exact locations) where students may pick up a reusable mask if they wish. Click here to view a document detailing how to properly wear and sanitize your masks.

• Daily Health Screening – William Paterson University is requiring that all faculty, staff and students conduct a daily self-directed health screen, prior to arrival on campus or leaving their residence hall room. This health screen includes completing a checklist of symptoms of COVID-19 and self-checking temperature. You can complete the daily health screening by logging into your WPConnect account, where you will see the Daily Health Screening form or you can complete the daily health screening by logging into WPConnect and searching for “Daily Health Screening.”
