COVID Guidance
As we prepare for the Spring 2023 semester, please be aware that the University plans to continue to follow cdc.gov guidelines as they relate to both the prevention of community spread and the specific recommendations pertaining to Institutions of Higher Education. Should community health factors or CDC/Public Health recommendations change, modifications or reinstatement of past practices may occur. At this time, University leadership asks that you be aware of and adhere to the following:
Masking:
- No masking requirement will be in place in general locations on campus (medical treatment areas like the Wellness Center or Athletic training rooms may continue to require masking).
- Please be respectful and cooperate with any individuals or areas that may post signage requesting that individuals use face coverings while in the operational area.
- If face coverings are needed, they will be made available at the Wellness Center on the Green Bay campus or at the main administrative offices at the Marinette, Manitowoc and Sheboygan campuses.
Testing:
- No surveillance testing will be required.
- Individual operational areas (e.g. Athletics & International Education) may require testing for participation in certain university activities.
- Students will be able to obtain at-home testing kits for voluntary surveillance testing through the Wellness Center on the Green Bay campus or at the main administrative office for those on the Marinette, Manitowoc and Sheboygan campuses while supplies last.
- If you test positive on a COVID self-test, the campus does not require additional testing. Simply begin isolation.
- Symptomatic testing for students who are unable to perform a self-test can be scheduled on the Green Bay campus at the Wellness Center by calling 920-465-2380 to schedule an appointment. For Manitowoc, Marinette and Sheboygan, tests are available at Prevea clinic sites. Visit myprevea.com to schedule a Covid test at the Wellness Center or other Prevea location, or contact your personal provider or pharmacy of choice.
Vaccinations:
- UW-Green Bay recommends all faculty, staff and students be up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters per CDC guidance.
- There will be no vaccination requirements for participation in any University activity.
- Primary Covid vaccinations and boosters for all students will be available through the Wellness Center (for Manitowoc, Marinette and Sheboygan campus locations, available at Prevea clinic sites). Green Bay students can call 920-465-2380 to schedule an appointment.
