COVID-19 Essentials Campus Guide for Students, Faculty, & Staff

We are confident that we can come together safely and effectively while following Middlebury’s COVID-19-related policies.

As COVID-19 has become endemic, Middlebury has resumed normal operations, while continuing core health and safety measures to minimize the potential of its spread. Students, faculty, and staff should follow CDC guidance, state health department guidance, and their healthcare provider’s advice for prevention and treatment of the virus.

Vaccination Policy

COVID-19 vaccination is strongly recommended, rather than required. You are encouraged to bring a copy of your entire immunization record with you or have rapid access to a digital copy. In the unlikely event of an outbreak, you may be asked to show evidence of vaccination for illnesses such as COVID-19, Measles, Mumps, and /or Varicella. 

Pre-arrival and Campus Requirements  

It is critical to minimize possible exposure before your arrival and do your best not to bring the virus to campus. Students are encouraged to bring rapid antigen tests, thermometers, or other healthcare items. Rapid antigen tests will be available at various locations while supplies last.

Our campuses are mask friendly and mask optional. Decisions around masking should be based on CDC guidance for COVID-19 and other illnesses. Masks will be available at locations on our campuses while supplies last. Students may need to recover in place depending on the situation even if they have a roommate.
