Countdown: 5 Days!


Hello again, Roo Nation! With less than a week to go before the official start of the fall semester, our campuses are buzzing with activity. Residence hall move-in is underway, faculty are making final preparations to begin coursework and our facilities staff is hard at work keeping our environment clean and sanitized with a special emphasis on high-traffic spaces. It's a new world, but with your cooperation and effort, this new world can be engaging, stimulating, rewarding and safe. Let’s show the world how to come back sensibly and strong. #RooUp!

Top Roo Responsibility


As we welcome you back to campus, we urge you to avoid large gatherings and to practice mask-wearing and physical distancing on and off campus. We all have a responsibility in keeping our community safe so we can enjoy our experience together this year!
Our Top 10 Roo Responsibilities

Wear A Mask (Save A Roo)


Face coverings or masks are required in all indoor spaces, except when you're alone in a private office with the door closed, and are required in all outside spaces when physical distancing of six feet cannot be maintained.
