Current Campus Update
May 14, 2021
Due to the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) newest guidance, restrictions on mask mandates and social distancing for vaccinated individuals have been removed. Fully vaccinated individuals will no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance in any setting, but with a few exceptions such as air travel.
The Governor has announced that the Commonwealth of Kentucky will immediately follow these guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals.
Unvaccinated individuals should continue to wear a mask and social distance on campus.
If there are questions regarding summer academic classrooms, please direct them to the Provost’s Office. Academic classroom guidance for Fall 2021 will come soon as additional CDC guidance is forthcoming.
