On June 14, 2021, new University of Kentucky campus policies regarding COVID-19 were implemented. These reflect
current recommendations of the CDC, direction from state government, guidance from health department officials
and the counsel of UK’s START team of health scientists and clinicians.
Per UK’s COVID-19 Health & Safety Guidelines:
Masks: People who are vaccinated are not required to wear masks or face coverings in campus outdoor spaces or
inside non-UK HealthCare campus buildings.
Vaccines: Vaccines are not mandated, but strongly encouraged. UK will continue to monitor this issue and change
plans, if necessary, to ensure the health and safety of our campus.
