Dear WCL Community –
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to in-person classes on Monday, January 31. We will be in touch over the next several days with some new health and safety protocols and some reminders of the protocols from last semester that will remain in place. We are writing now with an important reminder/news flash about testing and mask distribution:
EVERYONE – STUDENTS/STAFF/FACULTY – MUST TEST FOR COVID-19 UPON RETURN TO CAMPUS, OR AT THE LATEST BY THE END OF THE DAY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2. YOU MUST COMPLETE THIS TEST AT AN AU TESTING CENTER (WCL or main campus – schedules below).
Testing is available now (six days a week, AU hours and locations here; WCL hours below). Remember that you should not eat or drink within an hour before your test. To avoid long lines, we strongly encourage anyone who is in the DMV area to come to campus to test as soon as possible.
If you have tested positive at any point in the last 90 days (since October 20), you do not need to test immediately upon return to campus. However, we will only recognize your exemption (1) if your positive test occurred on campus, or (2) if off campus, you report the positive result on the Self-Report dashboard (AU login required).
The WCL testing center is in Capital, Terrace Level, 02 (CT02); it is open:

Finally, we will have KN95 masks available for distribution at the welcome desk in Warren, the Library circulation desk, and the Facilities office. Any member of the WCL community may show their ID and receive one KN95 mask per week. We encourage you to write your name on your mask, so you can keep track of it for the week.
Thank you for helping us to keep our community safe and healthy and we look forward to seeing you on January 31!
