All members of the campus community are required to practice social or physical distancing by staying 6 feet from others and wearing a face mask or face covering when on campus. The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

To date, we have NO active COVID-19 infections by anyone on campus. But we are well-prepared should an active case appear.
The health and safety of each student, faculty and staff member is first and foremost a priority on the NJCU campus. As part of our comprehensive planning strategy for a safe return to campus, the University has entered into an agreement with Diligent Urgent Care, LLC, a medical service delivery practice in New Jersey. This entity has been actively managing and treating COVID-19 patients since the onset of the pandemic. Diligent Urgent Care, LLC runs a robust telemedicine platform that will develop a HIPAAcompliant protected health information database for the University of all students, staff, and faculty members. Your participation in the telemedicine process is critical to our ability to keep our campus safe. The results of the telemedicine appointments will provide our workforce with individualized assessments from a medical clinician with health protection practices to best defend individuals from the virus given their own health history and risks.
