UCF encourages students, faculty and staff to take positive steps when they see others not complying with the COVID-19 Return to Campus Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ability to participate in face-to-face classes and activities is dependent upon every member of the campus community adopting simple steps, such as wearing a face covering<\/a> and physical distancing, outlined in the policy to prevent further spread of the coronavirus. UCF employees and students must complete the COVID Self-Checker each day they will be on campus and prior to their arrival on campus. The COVID Self-Checker can be completed online or through the UCF Mobile app<\/a>, with the student version of the assessment launching today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To help show your commitment to keeping yourself and fellow Knights safe, consider signing the Armor Up pledge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UCF recommends the three following steps if you see someone on campus is not wearing a face covering as required by UCF’s policy<\/a>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ask the person to put on a face covering per UCF\u2019s policy and refer them to available options, such as picking up a free UCF face covering from a distribution site<\/a> or vending machine on campus<\/a>. If the person does not put on a face covering, proceed to step two.<\/li>\n
  2. Ask the person to leave the area because they are not wearing a face covering and are not in compliance with UCF\u2019s policy. If the person does not leave proceed to step three.<\/li>\n
  3. The person leading the class, event, meeting, or gathering should cancel the occurrence and leave the area. Report the incidence to the coordinating program, department, supervisor, Student Conduct, Human Resources<\/a>, or the Compliance, Ethics, and Risk Office, <\/a>as appropriate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note: Only involve UCFPD if there is a physical threat, see UCF\u2019s policy<\/a> for information on exceptions.<\/em><\/p>\n

    While it\u2019s not always easy to have difficult discussions, here are suggestions that can help start conversations around potential safety misconduct you may witness during campus\u2019 reopening.<\/p>\n
