COVID-19 Community Standards

Refer Your Concerns

Any person may refer behavior by Carolina students to the Office of Student Conduct relevant to non-compliance of the University’s Community Standards associated with COVID-19. The Office of Student Conduct will review and address the behavior as appropriate based upon the information provided and, in some cases, the COVID-19 Administrative Process may apply. For the University to effectively follow-up on reports of student non-compliance with the Community Standards, and to meet due process requirements, detailed information about the incident and the individuals involved is needed.

Community Responsibility

Part of our community remaining healthy is holding each other accountable to the Community Standards established by the University. It will take the commitment of everyone in our community to ensure success of this semester; we all have a responsibility to “Know our W’s” - Wear a mask, Wait 6 feet apart, and Wash your hands often.

Beginning Spring 2021, Carolina has added a Testing Program to further manage the spread of COVID-19 on campus and in our community. With Carolina colleagues among the world's top infection disease researchers, we know this layered approach of managing the spread of COVID-19 is important, and members of the campus community must adhere to the expectations outlined in the Community Standards.

We empower and support individuals at Carolina to participate in conversations with respect for yourself and others. As you consider your tone and other nonverbal communication, we offer these statements for you to use in support of keeping the Carolina community safe:

“As a reminder, Carolina has guidelines that require all of us to be wearing a mask. I understand if you’ve forgotten yours, but Carolina is supplying them for all of us. Please go get, and put on, an available mask, if you want to remain in this (class/meeting/study group)”
"I am doing my part by choosing to maintain at least 6-ft distance. Will you join me in helping us all stay safe?”
“If you are not able to put on your mask and stand 6-ft from me, I’ll need to excuse you (or remove myself).”
“Thank you for the invitation, I do want to hang out with you, but I don’t feel comfortable going to an event with more than a few people who I know well and trust.”
“It is great to see you again! Let’s catch up where we can sit outside with our masks – how's (insert date/time).”
“I wish I could have you come to my place, but for now, let’s try (insert location, ideally outside).”
