What is the current masking policy on campus?

Mask Policies

Monday, 3/21 – Saturday, 4/2

• Masks are optional in residence halls.
• Masks are optional when working out at the Scot Center
• Masks are required in all other indoor spaces.

Starting Sunday, 4/3 (conditions permitting)

• Masks are optional in all indoor spaces on campus, with the following exceptions

Masks may be required in specific, bounded private spaces as detailed below. The requirement should be made clear through signage. Door tags that say “Masks required beyond this point” are available upon request by emailing wooster-covid-19@wooster.edu with your name and campus address. Because there will continue to be some spaces on campus that require masks, everyone should carry a mask with them when moving about campus in case it is needed.

• Masks will continue to be required at the Longbrake Wellness Center (as is the case at health care facilities around Ohio.)
• Masks may be required in classrooms, studios, and laboratories, at the discretion of the instructor.  (Faculty are encouraged to let their students know whether their classrooms will be mask-optional before April 4^th.)
• Masks may be required in individual offices and conference rooms, at the discretion of the occupant, supervisor, or host. (Those hosting meetings after April 3^rd are encouraged to be in contact with the participants.)
• Masks may be required in private student residential spaces, with consensus from all occupants. (So, for example, if all students in a house wish for masks to be required at their house, they may do so.)
