Return to Campus Plan Phase

• Phase 1: At the beginning of May, leaders, supervisors, and employees were informed of the university’s overall expectation for employees to begin returning to work on campus over the summer. During the month of May, HR provided a series of supervisor and employee trainings to review the Remote Work Policy and Remote Work Agreement.
• Phase 2: As of June 1, the Remote Work Policy has been released. During the month of June, vice presidents, deans and vice provosts will provide departmental guidance to employees regarding their available flexible work options. Employees may now complete the Remote Work Arrangement & Equipment Maintenance Agreement and submit to their supervisors for reviewal.
• Phase 3: Starting July 1, the Remote Work Policy goes into effect. Faculty and staff who have been primarily working remotely and have been identified as needing to return to the classroom or student service areas should begin shifting their schedules to primarily or fully work on campus based on direction provided by their supervisors.
• Phase 4: By August 2, front-facing and student service positions should be primarily or fully back on campus. Any remote work requests should be finalized and consistently followed by this time.

Vaccine Protocol: strongly encouraged, not required

At this time, we do not plan to require vaccinations for students or employees this summer or fall. We do strongly encourage all Cardinals to get vaccinated. If you have questions about the vaccine, visit the CDC’s website or review our Vaccine FAQs for answers to frequent questions such as “Will I need a booster dose?” We will continue to keep you regularly updated and remember; in addition to reviewing our FAQs, you can speak with a helpful member of our Business Operations COVID Support Team when you have questions or concerns.
