[Agvisors] Graduation: Medallion & COVID-19 Criteria

Wed May 12 07:46:56 MST 2021

Hello Agvisors: You and your graduating students all received the email below. The two most urgent actions in this email are medallion pick up and COVID-19 compliance criteria. If you could also reach out to your graduating students with these messages that would be very helpful:

  *   Medallion pick up: More than 200 students participating in the ceremony still need to pick up their medallion. The last chance is Thursday, May 13 from 10am-3pm. Medallions will NOT be brought to the contactless ceremony.
  *   COVID-19 Criteria: More than 300 students between CALS and College of Education are not yet in compliance. For those students, it’s highly recommend they take free rapid antigen test in the UArizona testing system no later than noon today/Wednesday (the day before our ceremony). Appointments can be scheduled here<https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/CommencementCeremonyTesting@emailarizona.onmicrosoft.com/bookings/>.
     *   Students must arrive at the ceremony with a completed Wildcat Wellcheck<https://wellcheck.arizona.edu/>.
     *   Students who don’t meet the criteria will not be allowed entry into the stadium.
