West Chester University
COVID-19 Classroom Protection Requirements

face-mask

We, as a community of educators and learners, should work together to create a culture that protects our most precious resource: each other. As such, it is the expectation of all members of the University community to continue to do their part to protect the health and safety of others. In our classrooms where the university's primary function is carried out, the following protocols are being implemented:
  • Unless otherwise directed by the faculty member, students must wear a cloth or disposable face mask that covers both the nose and mouth the entire time they are in class.
    • Face shields and gaiters do not meet the university's mask requirement.

  • Eating and drinking in the classroom are only permitted if they are medically necessary.
    • Please work with the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities to notify the university and your professors of this necessity.

We want you to succeed in this class, but we will have to ask you to leave if you do not follow these guidelines, so please – make the most of this opportunity and help keep our campus safe.
