COVID-19
Given the effectiveness and widespread availability of vaccines and boosters and based on the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), masks are optional on campus.
We recognize and appreciate that some members of the community will choose to continue wearing a mask. That is consistent with CDC recommendations to wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public, regardless of vaccination status when levels are high. Do what is best for you while respecting the choices of others!
We understand that some members of our community may be immunocompromised or unable to be vaccinated and may need to discuss learning or work-related accommodations. Students should contact the Office of Disability Services at ods@csuohio.edu or 216-687-2015 and review this information.
