The University continues to follow the latest CDC and local health guidelines as we prepare to resume normal operations over the course of the summer in anticipation of welcoming our campus community back.

Based on the latest CDC guidelines and the recently issued Shelby County Public Health Directive, campus guidelines are updated as follows effective July 1 (see embedded links for details):

• Fully vaccinated individuals may resume pre-pandemic activities without wearing masks or needing to physically distance while indoors or outdoors.
• Individuals not fully vaccinated are required to continue wearing masks at all times (indoors and outdoors) and must continue to keep physical distancing of six feet or more when engaging with others regardless of crowd size.

For the health and safety of our University community, all students and employees are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated to help minimize the spread of the virus as vaccines are now widely available. We are committed to the well-being of our campus community and will continue to coordinate and offer vaccination opportunities on campus for students and employees.

The next on-campus vaccine event is scheduled for Thursday, June 24, from 9:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the Rose Theatre Lobby. Click here to register. If you have already scheduled your second dose with BMG, you do not need to register again. Vaccinations will also be available on campus on July 22 and August 12. Registration information will be shared in advance.

All employees and students are to continue to notify the Department of Human Resources or the Office of the Dean of Students if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. All non-vaccinated employees or students who have been exposed to an individual who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 must also notify either of these areas, accordingly.

Thank you for your commitment and perseverance during this past year.

Vaccinations, while encouraged, are purely voluntary, and the University is offering this as a community service.

Faculty, staff and students who participate and receive their vaccination at this on-campus event will be eligible to receive a Chick-fil-A meal coupon and select Tiger merchandise from our bookstore. To receive a Chick-fil-A coupon and the merchandise, you must present your valid University ID and a copy of your CDC vaccination card dated Thursday, June 3, from the campus location.
