Revision to Campus Mask Requirement
Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,
As promised, given the marked decrease in COVID-19 cases on our campus and in the area, the decrease in local hospitalizations, and the state reporting less deaths from COVID-19, Jacksonville State University will begin to ease the face covering requirement. The revised requirement will begin on Monday, October 18, 2021.
The adjusted regulations will require masks to still be worn:
Our COVID-19 Task Force continues to support the institution with resources and contact tracing efforts. For links to the positive Self Reporting Form, exposure protocols and FAQs, please visit jsu.edu/coronavirus. JSU continuously monitors the conditions on our campus and in our region. Our mitigation measures will continue to be reevaluated accordingly. Should active cases increase to a level of concern, we will adjust requirements as necessary.
Thank you for helping us keep our campus community safe.
Dr. Don C. Killingsworth, Jr.
President
