COVID-19 Communications

We are so happy to have many of you back on campus this week. Your faculty and staff have worked hard all summer to prepare a safe environment for you, so that despite a global pandemic, TCU students could choose to have an on-campus student experience. We’ve just gotten settled in, and we want to keep you here for the entirety of the semester.

Today I sent the Protect The Purple Pledge to students and Horned Frog families as one in a series of messages with timely reminders of what campus life will be like, as many students begin their exciting return.

As you prepare for your Horned Frog to return, we want to reiterate our plan and outline the actions we expect from every community member. A successful semester requires that all community members assist with common sense prevention and self-monitoring strategies outlined by the CDC and endorsed by the University.

The Chancellor’s Fall 2020 Campus Readiness Task Force today shared Phase III guidance as part of the Return to Campus for Employees plan.

Effective immediately, face coverings are required on campus, unless you are alone in your private office. Required face coverings on the TCU campus will be in effect beyond August 3 and until further notice. Face coverings for students and instructors inside classrooms will be required throughout the fall semester.
