Frequently Asked Questions

Am I required to have a COVID-19 vaccination to be on campus?

COVID-19 vaccinations are encouraged, but not required, of all members of the Glenville State College campus community. Vaccination is the leading prevention strategy to protect individuals from COVID-19. The vaccines are safe and effective, available at no cost, and widely available.

Am I required to wear a mask when I’m on campus?

Mask use is required indoors regardless of vaccination status.

In general, the wearing of face coverings when outdoors is not required. However, masks can be worn outdoors at individual discretion in crowded outdoor settings or during activities that involve sustained close contact with other people who are not fully vaccinated.
