NC State Extension County Employees and CALS Off-campus Research Faculty and Staff,
If you have not already, please read the university memo from Friday, August 6, which outlines the most current NC State University policy on COVID-19 testing and vaccinations.
Beginning Monday, August 16, all faculty, staff and students who will be on campus, or at any NC State-owned or operated location across the state for any reason must provide proof of vaccination or they will be required to participate in a weekly surveillance testing program.
This policy now applies to all employees who receive a paycheck from NC State University, regardless of funding source, at off-campus sites including NC State Research Stations, Field Labs and all 101 Extension offices, even if you have previously been exempt from the policy. This expanded requirement will help keep our community healthy and should provide an enhanced sense of comfort to all students, faculty and staff as we begin a new semester.
Additionally, face coverings are now required in all indoor on- and off-campus spaces for faculty, staff, students and visitors, regardless of vaccination status. (Refer to the full memo for exceptions). This also applies to off-campus NC State-owned sites. In Extension offices, with the exception of Carteret County, we will defer to local government mask policies.
Key Takeaways:
- All employees who have not uploaded their vaccination cards to the HealthyPack Portal prior to Monday, August 16, will automatically be added for surveillance testing notifications.
- Please visit the HealthyPack Portal for information on how to upload your proof of vaccination. Once your vaccination cards are uploaded, you can access the HealthyPack Portal for vaccine records if and when you need a copy. Please know that all messages from Student Health via the HealthyPack Portal are secured.
- Testing can be done during work hours. If a convenient, easily accessible testing site is not available, please contact us to discuss alternative testing plans. Only PCR tests are accepted (no rapid tests).
- No reimbursement will be made for out-of-pocket costs and do not use a PCard to pay for testing. Free testing sites should be used.
- To upload weekly COVID-19 test results for off-campus testing facilities, please use these instructions found on the HealthyPack Portal (or see below).
