In order to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the University Central of Missouri is extending its mask mandate on its campuses in Warrensburg and in Lee’s Summit.

School officials say face coverings will continue to be required inside all university buildings for all students, employees and campus visitors, regardless of vaccination status.

Exceptions include the Multipurpose Building, where masks are no longer required for events but recommended, as well as when actively eating and drinking, in residence hall rooms and apartments, and in private offices when no visitors are present.
