In August, the University of Houston said farewell to Jim McShan as he retired from the position of Sr. Vice Chancellor/Sr. Vice President of Administration and Finance division at UH.
As much as he will missed, we also welcomed Raymond Bartlett as he was promoted into that position. We look forward to years of good leadership as he serves in that position now.

Coog Strong, Mask On is the University of Houston’s rallying cry to defeat COVID-19. It is a recognition that our UH Community must unite on a common mission to prevent the pandemic from disrupting our individual goals and our University’s Tier One academic and research pursuits.

Your cloth face covering should:

✔️ Reach above the nose, below the chin, and completely cover the mouth and nostrils

✔️ Fit snugly against the sides of the face

✔️ Be made of multiple layers of fabric that you can still breathe through

✔️ Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damaging the material or shape

Until further notice, the University of Houston requires face coverings for all students and employees while on-campus, in the following areas:

Indoor public areas on campus, except where marked, even if you are alone. This includes all non-private office or residential spaces, such as lobbies, restrooms, classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, common spaces in residence halls, conference rooms, and break rooms; and

Outdoor spaces where six feet or more of physical distancing is difficult to reliably maintain.

Face coverings are NOT required in the following limited circumstances:

- When working alone in a single office
- When in your own residential space
- When engaging in physical activity outside
- When doing so poses a greater mental or physical health, safety or security risk
- While operating outdoor equipment if not appropriate from a safety standpoint
- When consuming food or drink
- When engaging in personal hygiene activities

Exceptions will also be made for those individuals who, due to a specific medical condition, cannot wear a face covering and have received an accommodation.
