SUMMER QUARTER: WEEK 9
NEW THIS WEEK
This week marks the end of summer quarter 2021 - good luck to those of you working on final projects and exams this week!

The ISS office continues to serve students throughout the break between summer and autumn quarter - our drop in advising schedule and virtual front desk will continue to operate on the summer schedule until the beginning of the new academic term.

We recently sent out a brief survey with a few questions about your plans to travel for autumn quarter. If you have not already, please complete the survey so that we can prepare for your arrival to campus in September!

Last Friday, August 13, UW President Cauce announced a revision to the COVID-19 Face Covering Policy. Effective August 14, 2021, all people - regardless of vaccination status - must wear a mask or other face covering when indoors at any University of Washington building.

VACCINATION STATUS VERIFICATION & RETURN-TO-CAMPUS
In an email to UW community members on July 7, UW President Cauce and Provost Richards shared updated guidance about campus operations and provided instructions for vaccination status verification. If you are a student who is also an employee at the UW, note that you will be required to complete the student attestation as well as the employee attestation.
|
- Updated 8/2/2021: All campus community members are encouraged to wear masks when in shared space, though only unvaccinated individuals are required to wear masks or other face coverings when indoors.
- Based on Washington State guidance, physical distancing and capacity limits are no longer in place.
- Students, Faculty and Staff must verify their vaccination status. Students must provide vaccination information by the start of autumn quarter. Do so using the student COVID-19 vaccine attestation form.
- If you are traveling to the U.S. for autumn quarter and will not be vaccinated yet, your deadline to provide vaccination status verification is November 5, 2021.
- A hold will be placed on winter quarter registrations if the form has not been submitted by November 5, 2021.
