The following Directive applies to all faculty, staff, students, designated campus colleagues, and visitors to University of Arizona campuses or locations.

  *   At the University of Arizona state of Arizona Vaccine Point of Distribution (POD)
  *   At sites operated by other institutions that require use of face coverings

Fully Vaccinated Individuals:
Once fully vaccinated, you can participate in indoor and outdoor activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except for when you are at the locations identified above.

Fully vaccinated individuals who are immunocompromised, including those undergoing transplant or cancer treatment, should seek the guidance of their clinical care team before discontinuing mask use.

CLASSROOMS – You are required to wear a face covering in all classrooms and other group instructional settings.

OUTDOORS – You are required to wear a face covering while in any University of Arizona outdoor space where continuous physical distancing of at least 6 feet is difficult or impossible to maintain.

Thank you for continuing to help keep our campus and community safe.

Bear Down and Vax Up,

Robert C. Robbins, M.D.

President
