Here are some quick updates to help you prepare for fall at UAF. There’s a lot going on, and as things change, we’ll keep you updated.
|
Starting Aug. 11, the State of Alaska requires that nonresidents must arrive with a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours prior to departure. We still don’t have details on how this could affect our students, but we anticipate more information next week. Please closely monitor state travel mandates. Students traveling from outside Alaska will be receiving more information from Residence Life.
|
I encourage each of you to carefully consider any plans to leave the state during the semester, including at Thanksgiving break. Because travel restrictions change depending on pandemic conditions and often include quarantine requirements after travel, your best bet to avoid interruptions to your education will be to stay in Alaska for the semester.
|
The University of Alaska also has new student COVID-19 testing guidance. The most important thing you need to know is that if you are coming to UAF from outside Alaska or if you are planning on living in residence halls, you will be required to be tested for COVID-19. The new policy also covers things like what to do if you have COVID-19 or think you have been exposed to COVID-19. Please take the time to review this guidance so you are familiar with the current requirements.
|
If there are any revisions to this guidance, we will communicate those changes to you as they come.
|
This is a commitment to help keep one another safe and that you will follow UAF safety protocols and guidelines while you are on campus. Students living in campus housing will get an email from Res Life with directions on how to access the compact, and residential students will be asked to sign it this fall. Your education and the education of your fellow students depend on our ability to keep each other healthy and safe!
|
We are looking forward to seeing you this fall, whether it’s in person or virtually! You can find more information for students about how UAF is addressing COVID-19 on our campuses this fall on our website.
