We will stop requiring classroom disinfection on May 1. Disinfection supplies will continue to be available in classrooms. The disinfection work assigned to faculty, staff, and students will conclude on April 30 and will not be required during finals week or after.  Thanks to all the dedicated faculty, staff and students who disinfected classrooms during the fall and spring semesters!

Travel and Campus Guests

As of May 1, the university has lifted the pandemic-related domestic travel restrictions and the restrictions on campus visitors. Faculty and staff should continue to use Concur to manage the travel approval process.

In FY22 most university travel budgets will remain at the same level they were in FY21, which is a 65% reduction from previous years. Unless a person is presenting at a conference, virtual attendance is encouraged.

Academic travel related to tenure and promotion is prioritized and has special consideration. Please contact your dean regarding unfunded T&P-related travel needs. The deans and the Provost’s Office will work with the Finance Office to identify funds for T&P-related travel.
