MASK UP Gallaudet
The mask requirement will be updated as data points change, allowing for quick responses. The status will be displayed with the following icons at the Department of Public Safety (DPS) kiosk on Florida Avenue and on MyGallaudet, and will roll out to other sites, both physical and online, in the coming weeks.
Exceptions to Mask Requirements for ALL statuses (Red, Yellow, Green):
Gallaudet recognizes that traditional masks can be a barrier to communication for facial expressions, non-manual markers, and lipreading for our community members. Clear masks are available to all of our students, staff, and faculty. If you have not received yours, please go to the SLCC Atrium during Shild T3 testing times and request.
Questions may be sent to coronavirus@gallaudet.edu.
An important note about respect
Each individual will monitor their own vaccination status and comply with the mask policy accordingly. Community members will not police mask usage, and will respect each other’s privacy by not inquiring about vaccination status and refraining from making assumptions based on their mask usage.
When masks are not required for those who are vaccinated (during green and yellow status), many will choose to continue wearing a mask for their own personal comfort, and the community is expected to support their choices.
All GU Community members will receive the following:
Supplies will be available for all with a valid GU ID at the ShieldT3 testing site and at the SLCC Atrium on testing days.
All information will be kept confidential.
