In response to Executive Orders “Requiring Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccination for Federal Employees”; “Ensuring Adequate COVID Safety Protocols for Federal Contractors”; and North Carolina State University’s COVID-19 safety protocols, all attendees will be required to conform to the following:
- Proof of vaccination, except in limited circumstances where an attendee is legally entitled to an accommodation, is required for in-person attendance.
- Unvaccinated attendees will be required to provide a negative COVID test 48 hours prior to arrival on campus.
- Face coverings are required in all indoor spaces on campus, regardless of vaccination status, unless an individual is actively eating or drinking indoors. If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you.
- Face coverings are not currently required in outdoor spaces for vaccinated individuals, but they are encouraged, especially in large crowds. Anyone who has not been fully vaccinated should continue wearing a face-covering outdoors.
- Face coverings will continue to be required on NC State’s Wolfline buses.
- Physical distancing is encouraged.
- Hand sanitizing stations will be available.
