I've received a Covid-19 Vaccination, do I still need to complete a Covid-19 test?

• Yes, students are still required to complete ongoing testing requirements, regardless of their vaccination status. Questions regarding testing requirements should be directed to UK Health Corps at healthcorps@uky.edu or 859-218-SAFE (7233).

What happens if a student fails to complete their symptoms checks? 

• Students will be contacted to encourage them to complete the symptoms check. Repeatedly failure to complete the check may result in an informal conduct meeting.  

Can students comply with the symptoms check prior to their scheduled informal meeting? 

• Yes! If a student receives a letter from the Office of Student Conduct scheduling an informal meeting, completing the symptoms check prior to the meeting will cause the meeting to be cancelled and charges dismissed. However, if there is a need in the future to schedule an informal meeting, that meeting will not be canceled and the student conduct meeting will take place.  

What happens if I refuse to wear a face covering on campus? 

• Face coverings are required in all public spaces on campus, including inside the classroom, buildings, and in heavily trafficked spaces outside on campus. If the Office of Student Conduct receives a report of a refusal of a student for wearing face coverings in public places while on campus, a conduct officer will schedule a meeting with the student in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct and/or University Housing Community Standards. 

What happens if I refuse to physically distance on campus? 

• Physical distancing is vital to stopping the spread of COVID-19. If the Office of Student Conduct receives a report regarding someone who fails to maintain proper physical distance from others when in public, a conduct officer will schedule a meeting with the student in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct and/or University Housing Community Standards. 

Are students expected to follow local health department directives?

• Yes, Students are expected to follow any public health directive (including, but not limited to: quarantine orders, isolation orders, and contact tracing) issued or requested by UK Health Corps, Fayette County Health Department, or any other local/county health department. Public health directives should be followed until completed or altered by the issuing agency. Failing to follow these directives may be a violation of the Code of Student Conduct.

What happens if students and/or Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) host gatherings that do not follow current guidelines (number of people in attendance, social distancing, wearing face coverings, etc.)? 

• Students and RSOs can both be charged with violations of the Code of Student Conduct. If a Student or RSO creates a condition where they have put others at risk or harmed someone else, such as hosting a large gathering or not following state, local, or University guidance, those involved may be in violation of the Code of Student Conduct. Possible violations could include 6. L. Harm and Threat of Harm, 6. AA. Violations of Law or other UK Policies, and/or BB. Failure to Follow UK COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines. Harm and Threat of Harm includes physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, force, or other conduct that causes injury or a reasonable expectation of injury to the physical or mental health or safety of another person.

Can I submit an anonymous report?

• Yes, reports can be submitted anonymously; however, this may limit to ability of the Office of Student Conduct to appropriately address the reported concerns.

Could I be interimly suspended or face disciplinary suspension for not following public health guidelines or failing to comply with self-isolation?  

• The University takes the health and safety of the campus community seriously.
