UW lifts COVID mask rquirements for students, staff
UW LIFTS COVID MASK REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS, STAFF
By Brendan LaChance on May 24, 2021
CASPER, Wyo. — The University of Wyoming has lifted a requirement that students, staff and visitors wear face masks indoors, UW said on Monday.
“Effective today, the university is only recommending masks and distancing for those who have not been vaccinated for COVID-19, continuing UW’s transition to a traditional fall 2021 semester,” UW said.
UW says that the change follows the Wyoming Department of Health’s changes to COVID-19 related health orders announced Friday.

“Students who receive their COVID-19 vaccinations should upload documentation to the Student Health Service patient portal as soon as their vaccine series is complete,” UW says. “This is as simple as taking a photo of your vaccination document and uploading the picture here: http://patientportal.uwyo.edu, using your regular UW user ID and password.” ... “For employees, a quick reference guide has been created to help record this information within HCM.”
Further details are available in UW’s announcement.
