What You Need to Know
- As of Monday, Aug. 2, face coverings are again required in all indoor spaces on campus for students, faculty, staff and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, unless:
- You are alone in a private, enclosed residence hall room, apartment or office with the door closed.
- You are in an enclosed indoor space when only household members are present.
- You are actively eating or drinking.
- Face coverings are not currently required in outdoor spaces for vaccinated individuals, but they are encouraged, especially in large crowds. Anyone who has not been fully vaccinated should continue wearing a face covering outdoors.
- Face coverings will continue to be required on NC State’s Wolfline buses.
- Students living in university-owned housing (including Greek Village) who have not provided proof of vaccination will be required to provide results from a PCR COVID-19 test within 72 hours before or after their move-in appointment.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 16:
- Residents living in university-owned housing (including Greek Village) who have not provided proof of vaccination will be required to participate in weekly surveillance testing on campus.
- Students who have any on-campus classes and/or campus activities who have not provided proof of vaccination will be required to participate in weekly surveillance testing on campus.

Think and Do
As a public land-grant university, we owe it to the people of our state to tackle challenges such as COVID-19 — and to keep delivering world-class academics, research and outreach for North Carolina and beyond, whatever the circumstances. We strive to ensure that the things we learn and discover on campus will improve lives far beyond it.
If you’re new to this community, know that we’ll have your back — during this pandemic and long after it’s over.
