New Chancellor’s Order in effect
A new Chancellor’s Order to Minimize Spread of COVID-19 is now in effect through Jan. 14, 2022.
Face coverings
- All individuals are still required to wear face coverings when indoors, unless you are eating or drinking or alone in your office, or in Residence Halls when you are on your assigned floor.
- Acceptable face coverings must fit snugly against the face without leaving gaps, cover both the mouth and the nose, be washable or disposable after a single use, and have at least two layers that block light when held up to a light source. The following face coverings are not acceptable: gaiters that consist of only one layer, face coverings made of mesh or other open-weave material, and face shields worn without a mask or other face covering.
COVID-19 testing
- UW-Whitewater will not be requiring COVID-19 testing during the duration of this order.
UW-Whitewater continues to use information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State of Wisconsin, county health departments and the University of Wisconsin System to guide the decision-making processes across campuses. The EOC is closely monitoring conditions on campus and in the community.
Safe, effective vaccines are available at no cost to you. We urge every student and employee who is able to get vaccinated to do so and to upload a record of vaccination.
Please note that COVID-19 is an ongoing global pandemic, and modifications of these practices should be anticipated. For questions or comments related to the UW-Whitewater COVID-19 response, contact the COVID-19 Hotline at 262-472-1362 or covid19info@uww.edu.
