OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW Guiding Principles

The health and safety of our faculty, staff, students, and the public is UW-Stout’s top priority for developing protocols to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and for returning our students and employees to campus. Our health and safety requirements are aligned with local and state orders, along with guidance from the federal government, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, WI Department of Health Services, American College Health Association, and members of the UW-Stout Recovery Planning Team. Our knowledge and understanding of the COVID-19 virus continue to evolve. Therefore, our plans will be updated appropriately as more information becomes available.

Please visit our website: uwstout.edu/coronavirus for the latest updates.

Expectations and Guidelines All employees and students are expected to fully comply with the protocols and guidelines outlined in this document. Failure to do so may result in corrective action. Every reasonable effort will be made to gain voluntary cooperation before engaging in the formal disciplinary process.
