COVID-19 Communications

Throughout the pandemic, TCU has continued to follow guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Based upon their new guidance for mask-wearing and COVID-19 transmission levels in Tarrant County, masks are now optional for the TCU campus community.

The Campus Readiness Task Force has been closely monitoring the rapid developments surrounding the two federal vaccine mandates, both of which apply to employees of Texas Christian University should they survive court challenges and move forward. We are monitoring the legal challenges to both, but are preparing to comply, as are other colleges and universities across Texas.

Thank you for another inspiring semester at Texas Christian University! As we finish strong and look ahead to the new year, we are confident that together we can continue to keep our community safe amid a lingering pandemic. We continue to monitor Tarrant County spread levels and follow health guidance, report cases on our dashboard, conduct contact tracing and offer free testing and vaccines on campus.

Thank you for Protecting the Purple. Wearing a mask indoors, staying home when sick, testing, getting vaccinated – all these actions are helping to keep our Texas Christian University community safe and case counts low on campus.

We're so excited to welcome you back to campus for an in-person semester. But before we kick things off Monday, there are a few important things to keep in mind.
