Student Support Guidebook
Emory Campus Life has developed a comprehensive resource guide for faculty and staff to help us support students’ learning, well-being, and sense of belonging. Known as The Blue Folder Project, it provides practical advice on how to relate and respond to a variety of concerns students may face, including academic, medical, financial, etc. It also contains information on mandatory reporting—when it is required and when it is not – as well as contact information for a plethora of programs and support services. Bookmark it now for easy reference.
CFDE In-Person Teaching Guidance
Most of the questions Emory College faculty and instructors have about teaching in person, best practices, and health and safety measures, etc., can be found in the FAQ of current teaching protocols developed by the Center for Faculty Development and Excellence. The comprehensive document continues to be updated as new questions and protocols emerge.

Emory Forward Returning to Campus
The Emory Forward site provides the latest COVID-19 guidance, policies, and protocols for the university community.
COVID-19 Event and Gathering Policy
The Emory College facilities office is reviewing all event requests in College spaces and prioritizing academic-related programming. All events must follow the university’s Covid-19 Event and Gathering Policy guidelines.
Indoor Mask Mandate
Masks are required indoors at all times and while teaching. Exceptions include if you are in an office or other space by yourself with the door closed or if you are actively drinking or eating. The University is at full occupancy, so there are no physical distancing requirements in effect.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to keep their office doors open as much as possible to create a welcoming space for students and colleagues. Please note, however, that you must mask if your door is open. Report any mask compliance challenges with faculty and staff to ECAS_Connections@emory.edu.
Vaccinations and Testing
Vaccination Documentation
For fall semester 2021, all faculty, staff, and students are required to be fully vaccinated (defined as being two weeks past receiving both doses of a two-dose vaccine or one dose of a single-dose vaccine). Emory is tracking faculty, staff, and students vaccinated through Emory on the COVID-19 dashboard. If you received your COVID-19 vaccine outside of the Emory system, please be sure upload your vaccine card to the Emory H.O.M.E health portal . This information will ensure we have an accurate representation of our vaccinated community and put you in compliance with the vaccine requirement.
Testing Requirements
Any employee who is not fully vaccinated is required to undergo weekly testing. Only COVID-19 screening tests administered by the Emory University program count towards compliance with the testing requirement. Disciplinary procedures are in place for non-compliance. Testing locations, and days and hours when testing is available, are found on the Emory Forward website. |
