CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) RESOURCES
WLU released new guidelines for a Fully Reopened Campus for Fall 2021 on July 12, 2021. These guidelines follow all CDC and West Virginia mandates and were approved by the President’s Cabinet (click here).
Guidelines will be reviewed regularly and may change as necessary moving forward.
We ask all students, faculty, staff and visitors to be alert to changes that we announce via email and on this webpage.
Student failure to comply with the university guidelines is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and may result in disciplinary action up to and including expulsion.
Faculty and Staff must register their COVID Vaccine status by Aug. 13 with the Human Resources Department by completing a simple survey, linked here. The resulting data will be securely stored and only HR has access. Employee failure to comply with university guidelines will result in corrective action up to and including termination.
Vaccinations are the best line of defense against COVID-19 and we encourage everyone to get vaccinated. For more information, please visit wv.gov vaccine info.
WLU is committed to the safety of its students, employees and visitors.
Thank you for following pandemic guidelines.
Students can be seen by walk-in or appointment Monday-Friday between 7am-3pm. Telehealth appointments are available.
All students will be screened for fever and COVID symptoms prior to entering.
Students who have been exposed to COVID or who are experiencing fever, cough, or other respiratory symptoms should call ahead at 304-336-8049 for an appointment.
