FACE MASKS
Q: Where are students required to wear them? What about faculty and staff?
A: All members of the University community are required to wear masks while on campus where social distancing is difficult to maintain. This means always wearing a mask when in a University facility and outside while walking to and from classes or meetings.
Returning to Campus
UTC is making plans to be fully operational with students returning to campus for face-to-face classes in fall. All modifications made to schedules, policies and practices will be aligned with CDC and American College Health Guidelines. Resources to support faculty, students and staff are listed at the “Resources” menu below.
