Spring/Summer 2022
Updated May 3, 2022
Grand Valley moved its COVID alert level to Level 0, effective May 4. This means that face masks will be optional in all campus locations, including classrooms and other academic spaces. Faculty members can request their students wear face masks in class but cannot make it a requirement. There still may be unique situations where face masks are required, such as those regulated by the government.
We understand this will be a significant change to what we are accustomed to. Some members of the campus community will choose to continue to wear face masks, and they should be supported by all Lakers for doing so. Faculty and staff can require masks be worn in their private offices.
The health indicators used to inform the university's COVID-19 response have been revised. They were last revised in the summer, and some indicators are no longer useful because of the VAT transition and evolving guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health experts.
