Return to Campus

Your safety is our priority.

The entire UAH community has worked tirelessly to respond to the COVID pandemic and plan for the short and long-term impacts that will be left in its wake. We are fortunate to have the resources of the University of Alabama System Health and Safety Task Force, Chancellor Finis St. John and the support of the Board of Trustees in this initiative. 

This plan outlines efforts by the university community, led by the UAH Return to Campus Task Force, to develop a flexible approach to re-open campus, while considering adjustments to be made if conditions improve or worsen. While these safety and health measures are being implemented across our entire campus, the following guidelines will address the unique needs and challenges within our programs, spaces, and campus locations. By committing to a caring culture that starts with our personal behavior and acceptance of responsibility, this plan prioritizes the health and well-being of all our students, faculty, staff, vendors, volunteers, and visitors and provides a roadmap for continuing to provide exceptional educational, research, and engagement programs.

These guidelines and requirements could be subject to change and will be updated prior to future phases of re-entry, including a return to in-person instruction. You will receive various e-mail updates from time to time with specific guidance. Continue to check this website for the latest updates and information. 

Charge on!
