Current Campus Update
July 8, 2020
Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,
The Racer Safe and Healthy Checklist is now available via myGate for all students, faculty and staff returning in-person at all Murray State University locations. The purpose of this mandatory checklist is to help protect the safety and health of our campus community and must be used in conjunction with your own daily self-health assessments done via the COVID-19 Apple app or a similar type of COVID-19 screening app. Taking personal responsibility now to be as safe and healthy as possible is of the utmost importance as we collectively prepare for a successful fall semester.
Below is a chart of specific groups returning to campus and the initial deadline to have completed the Racer Safe and Healthy Checklist:
| Specific Groups Returning to Campus | Deadline to Complete Checklist |
|---|---|
| Faculty/Staff Currently on Campus | July 10, 2020 |
| Faculty/Staff Returning in July | July 10, 2020 |
| Faculty/Staff and Students Returning to Campus for the Fall Semester | August 1, 2020 |
After initial completion, this checklist must also be completed by all students, faculty and staff returning in-person on the first day of each month during the fall semester.
If you need assistance or have questions about the Racer Safe and Healthy Checklist, please email msu.racersafeandhealthy@murraystate.edu.
As a reminder, please immediately notify MSU Health Services/Primary Care, or your medical provider, at 270.809.3809 or 270.759.9200 if you become symptomatic and/or feel you may have been exposed to COVID-19. Also, please continue to adhere to the MSU Racer Safe and Healthy Guidelines and visit our Racer Restart website to read the University’s restart plans and other important updates.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work together to protect the safety and health of our campus community.
Sincerely,
Bob Jackson, President
