UNCW Keeps Researching

With widespread availability and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, UNCW has returned to more familiar operations.   This includes research, scholarship, and creative activities.  Current campus COVID-19 Safety and community guidelines are listed on the Best for the Nest website.

Highlights of Health and Safety Requirements

Effective 8/24/2021

• All researchers who are able are encouraged to get vaccinated for both personal and community health and safety. The University is offering a free drop-in vaccination clinic for those who still need a vaccine.  Unvaccinated researchers working on campus are required to participate in weekly surveillance testing. 
• Until further notice face coverings are required when inside University facilities – including research, scholarship, and creative activity environments.
• While physical distancing is no longer required, individuals should be respectful of other and maintain social distance.
