Adelphi University’s Health and Wellness team is implementing enhanced mitigating measures to keep the university community safe, which will be in force until March 1, 2022, when the institution reevaluates its protocols to see if these should be changed or continued.
Before arriving on campus, all community members must complete a daily health test using the AU2GO smartphone app.
