MASK COMPLIANCE 

U-M Policy: With very limited exceptions, all faculty, staff, students and visitors are required to wear a face covering over their mouth and nose anywhere on campus – inside buildings, outdoors and on U-M transportation. If you see someone not wearing a mask, you have options for choosing to address the situation:

  • Politely remind them to wear one
    • If they don’t have one, offer to help them find one. Classrooms and offices should have spares.
    • If they refuse, you may choose to leave the area and report the incident. NO ONE IS EXPECTED TO WORK OR LEARN IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION.  
  • If you’re not comfortable confronting noncompliance, please remove yourself from the situation and report the incident. 

Non-compliance can be reported to your supervisor, an advisor or leader in your academic department or to the Office of Student Affairs. Employees and students who repeatedly do not wear a mask and have not been granted a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) will be subject to the University’s misconduct and disciplinary policy or the Office of Student Conflict Resolution.
