The University of Alabama has taken a proactive approach to limit the spread of COVID-19. The health and safety of all guests, faculty, staff and students are top priorities for the University. Guests are required to wear a mask when on UA transportation. Please feel free to bring your own mask or a disposable mask will be provided. Guests are not required to wear a mask when outside. We will ask any guest who displays symptoms related to COVID-19, has experienced symptoms related to COVID-19 in the past fourteen (14) days or who has come in contact with someone with a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19 in the past fourteen (14) days not to participate in our campus tour. Our team is regularly cleaning our facilities, practicing social distancing and will have limited the number of guests per campus tour experience.

Arriving on Campus
