Mandatory COVID-19 testing and changes to Events Policy
The Emergency Operations Committee and Chancellor’s Cabinet have approved two changes to the university’s operations, effective immediately.
- COVID-19 testing is now mandatory for students, faculty and staff who come to campus. The frequency is the same as communicated previously:
- Students living on campus must get tested once every week.
- Students living off campus, but who come to campus for class, use of library or other facilities must get tested once every two weeks.
- Faculty and staff coming to campus for any reason must get tested once every two weeks.
- Students participating in athletics (competition or practice) must get tested as required by NCAA and/or WIAC guidelines.
- UW-Whitewater at Rock County students, staff, and faculty coming to the campus for any reason must get tested once every two weeks.
Further details about testing requirements can be found on pages 6-7 of the Warhawks Return Practices. To schedule a test, visit the testing website.
- Up to 25 persons are now allowed to gather in accordance with the Events Policy. Please review the entire policy to ensure compliance and the safety of attendees.
