COVID-19 Testing and Mitigation

Testing for COVID-19 will be provided by the university in two phases:
Phase 1 - Testing will be available on weekdays from August 10 through August 21 on the Belknap and HSC campuses for all university members. UofL strongly urges all students, faculty and staff to get registered and tested.

Phase 2 -  For the remainder of the semester, Campus Health will provide tests for our university community, but due to limited supply they are prioritizing those tests for university members who are displaying signs and symptoms Register here.

If you are concerned you may have COVID-19, or may have been in contact with someone who is positive for COVID-19, you should:
1.       Stay at home.

PLEASE NOTE: Even if you decide to seek care from your own medical provider, be sure to still inform Campus Health so the university can effectively track COVID-19 cases and ensure proper isolation procedures for our campus community.

Faculty are obliged to accommodate students’ request(s) for adjustments in course work on the grounds of religious observance, provided that the student(s) make such request(s) in writing during the first two (2) weeks of term.

All pertinent information should be listed, including date, time, location, parties involved, witnesses, any attempts to resolve the complaint, and desired resolution.

Usage of Yard Signs

Yards signs are permitted to be placed on the campus grounds by University departments and recognized student organizations.  Non-UofL organizations, business or individuals are not permitted to place yard signs on campus grounds.
Good practices for yard signs includes:

1. Yard signs should contain the sponsor name and date of the activity.
2. For signs without a date, the sign should be up no more than 30 days.
3. Signs should be placed in mulch bed and mulch rings around tree.   Any sign placed in the lawn will be moved to the closest mulch area to the original location by a groundskeeper.
4. Signs should be removed within 5 business days once the activity is concluded.  Utilizing a map of where signs have been placed can ensure that all signs are taken down.
5. Signs still up after 5 business days would receive a courtesy call from Grounds Services to remove the yard promptly.
6. If signs are not removed, Grounds will remove signs for responsible disposal.
