Health, Wellness & Prevention

Law School will implement the following measures once Gonzaga University shifts to a mask optional operating environment on March 26, 2022:

  • All open common areas within the Law School building will be mask optional
  • With one exception, all common office areas within the Law School building will be mask optional
    • The Center for Civil & Human Rights (CCHR), located on the second floor of our clinical space, will require the use of masks by all those who enter.
    • The CCHR policy will be reevaluated in early April.
  • Occupants of individual offices with doors may establish a mask-required-for-entry environment
    • Those electing to do so have been encouraged to display appropriate signage so entrants are aware.
  • Professors may determine the mask policy within their classrooms and are asked to communicate with you directly regarding their policy
    • Faculty who elect to require masks in their classrooms have been provided boxes of masks that they are encouraged to bring with them to the classroom, so no student will be without a mask.
    • There will be no revisiting of earlier decisions made regarding violations of masking protocol or student absences from class due to COVID.

Additional campus health and safety information can be found on the ZagOn website.
