In the absence of a UNL face covering requirement or Directed Health Measure from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, there are some instances where face coverings may be required or requested in classrooms given the current transmission level of COVID-19 in the community.
- Face coverings may be required in classes or academic activities where it is necessary for students to work in close proximity to each other for an extended period of time.
- Face coverings may also be required in a class where the instructor or a student or their immediate family members have documented health-related issues related to the vaccines.
If face coverings are required in a class, it will be noted in the course syllabus.
An individual instructor may also have a preference that face coverings be worn in their class. In this instance, instructors may ask, but not require, that students do so.
Students are advised to keep a face covering with them at all times throughout the spring term.
