Travel
Official international travel through the University to a country listed at a U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory Level 4 is not allowed. Travel to a Travel Advisory Level 3 country needs approval through the Office of the Provost. Travel to countries in Levels 2 and 1 are not restricted at this time. Questions regarding international travel should be directed to Angie Carpenter.
Indoor Mask Mandate
To enable us to continue operating normally in the early days of this semester, UND will implement a mask requirement for indoor public spaces effective August 23. Public spaces are defined as:
- Hallways
- Classrooms
- Open seating lounges
- Teaching laboratories
- Academic buildings
- Administrative buildings
- Chester Fritz Library
- Student Health Services
- University Children’s Learning Center
- Wilkerson Commons (except when eating)
- Memorial Union (except when eating)
- Not individual offices or private living spaces
University business conducted in non-university facilities, such as admission activities at the Gorecki Alumni Center, are also covered by this requirement.
Masks are strongly encouraged in all other public spaces. These include facilities such as residence hall common areas, campus apartments common areas, the Wellness Center, and athletic facilities. When meetings are scheduled in residence hall common areas, masks will be required.
Widespread use of masks drastically reduces the number of people required to quarantine after a positive case of COVID-19, by the Department of Health policy. This simple step of wearing masks when we are in groups will blunt the impact of quarantines and allow us to most effectively continue or on-campus education.
COVID-19 Vaccine
COVID-19 vaccine is widely available. We encourage you to get vaccinated to protect yourself and others. Two weeks after completing your vaccination series, you do not need to quarantine if you’ve been around someone who has COVID-19 or get tested regularly (unless you have symptoms).
Flu Shots
Getting your flu shot can reduce your likelihood of getting sick or reduce your symptoms of the illness. This not only protects you, it will protect the strain on our health care systems during the pandemic.

Free Masks for Students
Students are invited to pick up a free UND face covering while supplies last at:
Student Involvement Office

COVID-19 Cases
UND reports COVID-19 cases in a real-time dashboard.
Student, employee and patient confidentiality laws prohibit disclosure of identities and their test results. These statistics are reflective of information obtained by the University, in close cooperation with local and state health departments. There may be additional positive cases of which the University has not been made aware. Confirmed and active cases at UND should not be considered exhaustive. The numbers reflected are to the best of the University’s knowledge.
