Students, Faculty, Staff, and Families:

As a reminder, ESF transitioned to the YELLOW level on the COVID masking framework. We announced this move would occur pending current public health conditions and, after assessing the current landscape, we officially moved to YELLOW on March 14.

Under the YELLOW masking level, transmission risk is moderate and:

• Masks are REQUIRED for all unvaccinated students, faculty, staff and visitors on campus indoors at all times, and outdoors when in the presence of others.
• Masks are RECOMMENDED for vaccinated students, faculty, staff and visitors while indoors in the presence of others, and outdoors in large group settings.

Individual offices and course instructors may request all employees, students, and visitors to wear masks while in areas under their control. Such requests must be consistent with relevant NYS guidelines and ESF policies.

On-demand testing remains available to ESF students, faculty, staff, and families through Syracuse University. Check the SU website for the most up-to-date testing hours.

Thanks for your continued cooperation and adherence to the College’s public health guidelines, and for your ongoing commitment to a safe and healthy campus.
