Masks and Physical Distancing

All members of the campus community must wear masks and practice physical distancing in public areas. Face coverings, such as masks, scarves, bandanas, or hijabs that cover the mouth and nose are required in all areas listed here:

  • When entering and leaving public spaces to include buildings, bathrooms, classrooms, offices, and meeting spaces
  • In classrooms and labs
  • In locations that have posted university approved signage that masks are required
  • In all other public areas—consistent with current CDC guidance where physical distancing from others cannot occur

Campus Housing

Community meeting and gathering spaces in residence halls will be restricted. Physical distancing will be encouraged in any shared areas and meetings will be held virtually whenever possible. Cleaning will be enhanced in all community spaces. Additional cleaning supplies for individual bedrooms will be available at all front desks for residents.

A. Yes! The UofL Writing Center is located on the first floor of Ekstrom Library and is currently providing remote services due to the pandemic. The Writing Center can help with any point in the writing process, from getting started, to writing the first draft, to revision and copyediting.
