Planning for spring semester
The university has adopted new measures to enhance the safety of the campus community during the spring semester.
These measures increase the scope and frequency of testing and are linked to access to campus. Proof of recent negative test results will be needed in order to access campus facilities and services. Read multiligual versions of Chancellor Blank’s Dec. 11 message to employees.
During this period we are here and available to help you achieve success and navigate your academic experience. We remain committed to providing you the support needed to be safe, healthy, and successful. As the situation continues to evolve, we will keep you updated here, by email, and on social media with resources to take care of yourself and be strong, together!

Respect Statement
All members of the UW–Madison community deserve to feel welcome, valued and safe. We do not tolerate harassment and discrimination, and racist behaviors and stereotyping are inconsistent with the values of UW–Madison.
