Masks and Face Coverings Requirement
To protect the health and safety of employees, students and visitors, face coverings are required on all University of Toledo campuses, with limited medical and safety exceptions.
For full details on requirements, including exceptions to the requirement, please see the Masks and Face Coverings Requirement guide.
Flexible Work Arrangements
UToledo continues to permit supervisors to work with their employees who are in need of flexibility during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to establish temporary work arrangements during this uncertain time, not to exceed May 31, 2021. In areas where remote work is possible, it is important to maintain on-campus operations by staggering and rotating staff between remote work and on-campus work. The updated Flexible Work Agreement online form needs to be completed by the manager or supervisor, not the employee, and approved at the director or vice president level.

UToledo has established detailed guidelines and criteria for the return to work for any UToledo employees, including Healthcare Providers(HCP) that have had Close Contact, Suspected or Confirmed, with COVID-19. The Return to Work Criteria document will provide full details.
