The spring 2021 semester begins Tuesday, Jan. 19, with the return of on-ground teaching, learning, living and working. The last day of classes is Monday, May 3.
As in the fall, our overriding goal is to promote the safety of our academic community and our fellow New Orleanians. This semester, we will increase the frequency with which we test our students, faculty, staff and contract workers throughout the coming semester. Students living on-campus will be tested as many as three times a week, while faculty, staff and contract workers will be tested at least every two weeks. Prior to arriving in New Orleans, students will be required to receive a negative COVID-19 test and isolate/quarantine for 5 to 7 days before traveling. We have hired more COVID support personnel and enhanced our ability to isolate/quarantine positive cases and their close contacts. In addition, our campus remains closed to visitors and everyone in the Tulane community will be required to continue to adhere to all COVID-19 safety protocols, including social distancing, face coverings and good hand hygiene.
All faculty, staff, students and visitors are currently required to wear face masks or coverings while on the Tulane University Campus.
Visitors may walk, run or bike through campus. Face coverings must be worn and we ask that you not stop or congregate while on campus. To support the health and safety of the Tulane community, we must restrict access to campus facilities, such as the Reily Center and the Commons, to Tulane University affiliates only. We look forward to welcoming non-affiliates back to campus once it is safe to do so.
