COVID-19 Policies & Guidance

Masking remains an effective strategy for personal protection against transmission of many respiratory illnesses, especially in crowded indoor spaces. Free masks are available at locations across campus while supplies last, including info desks at the Michigan Union, Michigan League, and Pierpont Commons, and at the welcome desk at the Ross School of Business.

U-M encourages you to get the most up-to-date COVID-19 vaccine recommended by the CDC and to report your COVID-19 vaccination to the university. Students in Michigan Housing must report other routine immunization information, as well. In the fall semester, we will hold multiple clinics offering vaccines for both COVID-19 and influenza. Certain units, such as Michigan Medicine, University Health Service, and the School of Dentistry, have local-level policies requiring vaccinations under certain conditions.

The University of Michigan uses a set of Response Metrics to determining the needs for local or campuswide policies to slow the transmission of COVID-19. Read more about metrics here.
