What You Need to Know About Coming To Campus - All individuals (students, employees, visitors) on-site at Wichita State University
will be asked to comply with the following health and safety measures.
Wear a face covering at all times except when you are alone in your office or alone
walking outside.
Wear additional personal protective equipment required by your department.
Wash your hands when arriving and leaving campus, and upon returning to your workspace.
Disinfect your personal workspace and common/high traffic work areas you are accountable
for in your department.
All individuals (students, employees, visitors) on-site at Wichita State University
will be asked to comply with the following health and safety measures:
Limit interaction with others as much as possible
Wear a facemask and appropriate PPE at all times, unless walking alone outdoors or
working alone in a personal office space
Keep at least 6 feet of distance between yourself and others
In the event it is necessary to be in proximity to another person such that it is
impossible to remain 6 feet apart, keep such interaction to less than 10 minutes
Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are
not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue and then throw the tissue in the trash
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces
Do not come onto campus if you exhibit any symptoms associated with COVID-19 within
the 24 hours prior to your arrival
Do not come onto campus if you have been exposed to COVID-19 unless you have complied
with any recommended quarantine period
Limit your interactions to designated areas, as necessary
For WSU employees that are hosting visitors to campus, we ask that, in addition to
the above, you remember the following:
Plan ahead. Limit staff that will be on site and in the vicinity while the visitor is on premises
and think of ways to limit any unnecessary interaction between the visitor(s) and
WSU staff or students.
Notify staff. Inform any staff that will be physically present in advance of the visitor(s)’ arrival
and make sure they know to avoid any unnecessary interaction and to skip over normal
pleasantries (i.e., shaking hands, etc.).
Limit the visitor(s) to areas where they truly need to be. Provide soap, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, tissues, and wipes or spray.
COVID-19 Safety Starter Kit
Upon receipt of a work order request, Facilities Services will deliver a COVID-19
Safety Starter Kit. These starter kits are intended to help staff returning to campus on May 26 get through
the first week or two. At a minimum, starter kits will include the following: cloth
face coverings/disposable surgical masks, hand sanitizer and surface disinfectant
in spray bottles, paper towels, blue painter’s tape (for floor markings and to hang
signs with) and a limited number of non-latex gloves. Cloth face coverings are limited
to one per WSU employee. Ask your supervisor about receiving your own face covering.
Any office needing supplies can submit a work order request. Please limit additional orders to quantities that correlate with the number
of staff actually working on campus. More information about COVID-19 Safety Starter
Kits can be found at https://www.wichita.edu/services/physical_plant/workorders.php.
