FAMU lifts student curfew

FAMU has lifted its curfew on students living on campus effective immediately, Thursday, April 1, since the positivity rate has declined to a low level.  The curfew had been in effect since late January.

“To continue our battle against the pandemic, students are urged to take advantage of the free on campus vaccination site at the Lawson Center,” the university wrote in a press release. “Beginning Monday, April 5, Florida residents 18 and over are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.”  

FAMU encourages students, and staff, to continue to adhere to our Emergency Procedure Guidelines that consist of the following: 

• Wear a facial mask

• Practice social distancing

• Practice good hygiene

• Submit to a digital thermometer when entering offices

• Must notify Student Health and stay in the residence if having symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

The restrictions on campus gatherings have been expanded to 30 participants with appropriate mask wearing and social distancing. 

Violation of any of FAMU’s Emergency Procedures is considered an offense in the Student Code of Conduct with penalties that can lead to suspension from the University.
