- Walk-ins: Please observe University Policy and public health guidelines when seeking in-person support. Per University Health & Safety (UHS) guidelines, please note the following when visiting the Walk-in locations on campus:
- Masks are required in all University buildings, including walk-ins. Hand sanitizer is available and the shared areas will be cleaned between customers.
- If a walk-in is fully occupied, we ask that you find a space outside of the space and away from others to wait. This helps us limit the number of people in the space to allow safe physical distancing.
- Many shared computers and collaboration areas have been removed from the walk-ins to ensure physical distancing requirements are met. This means that fewer computers are available in each space, so please plan accordingly.
