Safety Guidelines

Learn more about campus safety protocols and visit App State’s coronavirus website for updates on how the university is responding to COVID-19.

The university continues working steadily to assess and adjust every aspect of the Appalachian Experience to keep health and safety at the forefront. While all units remain open, access to many campus buildings remains limited.
Face coverings are no longer required on campus except where required by federal and state guidelines. While traveling to and from campus and throughout the Town of Boone and Watauga County, carry a face covering with you, so you will have one readily available as needed.
