Increased vaccinations and continued safety measures, such as masks and social distancing, helped mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. As we continue to monitor COVID-19, we encourage both students and staff to take appropriate steps to keeping themselves and their community safe.
In light of recent developments, we are no longer requiring the use of masks while attending class or while working with others in a lab, classroom, or workspace. Mask usage on campus is optional but still encouraged. See our mask policy and rules for additional details.
Vaccination Requirement
Per guidance provided by the King County Health Department based on current regulations, we are no longer requiring students and on-site faculty/staff to be vaccinated for COVID-19. Although optional, we still encourage everyone to get vaccinated for COVID-19. If you have vaccination access concerns, please contact Student Affairs.
