91²Ö¿â will provide students and employees with two washable face coverings. A face covering must be worn in all areas of campus. For students living in the residence halls, if it is just you and your roommate in your room, you are not expected to wear a face covering while you are in your room. However, when there is a guest present in the room, everyone in the room must wear a face covering.
Individuals with special circumstances that prevent them from wearing a face covering must submit a Pandemic Adjustment Request Accommodation Form.
