Ensuring the Health of the Public Higher Education Community
On June 30, 2022, the Board of Regents approved a resolution providing that the Nevada System of Higher Education will continue to follow any health and safety directives of the State that are intended to ensure a safe workplace and educational environment for faculty, staff, and students; and acknowledging the Presidents’ duty to provide leadership in the planning and implementation necessary for the safe and successful operation of their respective institution.
Vaccines
At its June 30, 2022, meeting the Board of Regents repealed its emergency COVID-19 vaccination policy. However, NSHE continues to strongly encourage students and employees to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Learn more about where to get a vaccine here: www.immunizenevada.org.
Practice Social Distancing and Remain Vigilant
Local counties retain authority over COVID-19 social distancing, building, and event capacity requirements. NSHE institutions must continue to follow their local county directives.
We all still must remain vigilant and follow appropriate health protocols, including monitoring personal health and continuing healthy hygiene practices, as the fight against COVID is not over. COVID-19 policies remain subject to amendment whereby mitigation efforts or restrictions may be strengthened or relaxed.
It is everyone’s personal decision to wear or not wear a face covering while in public places, including on NSHE properties, inside and outside. Everyone’s choice, regardless of what it is, should be free from any criticism, judgement, or retaliation.
Masks will continue to be provided for students and employees. COVID-19 self-tests are available at no cost for students and employees at 澳门新甫京娱乐游戏在线下载 locations in Elko, Ely, Pahrump and Winnemucca.
Please note that students and faculty in certain programs may have other policies that they must follow.
Employees and students who are not feeling well should not be present at a physical location and should comply with proper reporting off procedures or informing their instructors.
Continued good hygiene practices, such as frequent hand washing, and disinfecting are strongly encouraged.
Protocols in Place
- All students and employees are obligated to follow codes of conduct and workplace policies that demand honesty.
- Knowing and willful violations of this policy by a student or employee may result in disciplinary action.
- Employees and students are responsible for monitoring their health for any of the following symptoms and not report to work if any are present: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhea.
