Overall, mask-wearing will no longer be required effective Wednesday, September 28, 2022, with a few exceptions. Though there will no longer be a universal mask mandate, many NYUers will make an individual choice to continue to wear masks, particularly during the first weeks after the lifting of the mandate. It is important that we, as a community, embrace a choice by friends, classmates, and colleagues to continue to wear a mask, and that we commit ourselves to establishing an atmosphere where masks are always welcomed and those who choose to wear masks feel comfortable and supported in their decision.
