Dear SU Faculty and Staff,
 
As Salisbury University continues its COVID-19 precautions, please note the following:

• All members of the campus community are required to remain up to date with their vaccines, according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including getting the booster when eligible. 
  • To schedule a local vaccine or booster appointment or access a booster calculator, visit: https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/pages/vaccine#BoosterEligibility
  • To schedule a vaccine or booster on campus, visit: https://suvax.timetap.com.
  • Employees who do not get the booster when eligible and do not have an approved exemption, will lose access to campus beginning Friday, February 4. 
  • Employees will receive an email if SU does not have your vaccine or booster on file.

• President Wight will hold a live briefing on Thursday, January 20, at 2 p.m. to provide information on spring semester operations and to answer questions. 
  • The briefing will be livestreamed at https://salisbury.zoom.us/j/97021628781 and on SU’s Facebook page.

• For employees who receive an approved medical or religious exemption: 
  • Employees with approved exemptions are required to test twice weekly (Tuesdays/Thursdays) in order to maintain access to campus. 
  • Employees are required to sign-up for testing by Thursday, January 27, at midnight, visit https://sutesting.timetap.com/ to register.  
  • Quarantine remains required for all employees who are not up to date with their vaccines who test positive or come in contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19.

• SU’s focus continues to be the safety of our campus community and our mission, which is education. SU will continue to evaluate its safety protocols and joins other University System of Maryland (USM) institutions, including University of Maryland College Park, Towson University and University of Maryland Baltimore County in utilizing updated CDC guidance for vaccinations and boosters.

• SU currently does not have take-home COVID-19 tests in stock. Employees are encouraged to request free at-home tests at www.covidtests.gov or sign-up for a test on campus.   

A similar message has been sent to students. Please review Thursday's COVID-19 communication for additional information.
