SMU is no longer requiring masks to be worn on campus with a few exceptions.
It is optional for you or someone entering into your workspace to wear a mask. However, because SMU is no longer requiring masks to be worn on campus, you cannot require someone to do so.
As SMU continues to make the transition toward regular campus operations, it is important to recognize that some people in our community may not be vaccinated and/or may choose to wear a mask for their own protection and that of others. Please continue to show respect for individual decisions and responses to the health concerns of the pandemic.
While the mask mandate for campus is lifted, it does not preclude you from wearing a mask at meetings or in social situations.
Other options to masking include: meeting in a space that offers more social distancing or meeting virtually.
