UB Forward - 8/21/2020

Students, faculty and staff who ride the Stampede or campus shuttles can expect to see many safety measures in place this fall to protect the health of passengers and drivers.

To help prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus, the university has deployed a new virtual screening tool for all students, employees and visitors to campus.

The university is taking measures to raise awareness among students, employees and visitors to campus about the need to comply with UB’s Health and Safety Guidelines.

• Return to campus site. Employees are advised to check this site often for COVID-19-related protocols and practices that affect the UB workplace.

• Emergency fund giving opportunities. Donors can designate a gift to assist students, to support COVID-19 response in the community and more.

• Coping with COVID-19. Human Resources has compiled advice and tools to guide people experiencing pandemic-related stress or concerns.

• Welcome home, students. The residential check-in process has been completely redesigned with safety in mind. Get tips for moving in, navigating temporary parking and more.

• Know the expectations. UB Student Conduct and Advocacy outlines COVID-19 public health behavior requirements and consequences for noncompliance.

• Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund. Students who incurred education-related expenses as a result of the disruption to campus operations during the pandemic may be eligible to receive assistance through a HEERF grant. Funds are still available.
