Coronavirus Information
Consistent with federal and State pronouncements lifting COVID-19 related emergency declarations and requirements, Stockton University ended the daily COVID-19 update emails on Aug. 16, 2023. In addition, daily tracking of COVID-19 cases for both employees and students was suspended on Aug. 16, 2023. We reserve the right to reintroduce the daily updates and tracking should circumstances change.
Please continue to use the COVID-19 Reporting form to report COVID-19-related illness.
-
In light of updated federal and state guidelines on COVID-19, Stockton University strongly recommends but no longer requires employees and students to be vaccinated against the virus, effective Monday, June 19, 2023.
The University is updating its requirements to strongly recommend vaccinations, following President Biden’s recent decision to end the COVID-19 national health emergency as well as the scaling back of various health protocols in New Jersey, including vaccination mandates in health care settings, amid declines in cases.
-
A link is accessible on the Employee and Student Life tabs in the goStockton portal for you to complete if you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, are not vaccinated and have been exposed to COVID-19, are not vaccinated and returning from international travel, or have tested positive for COVID-19.

Stockton University monitors the guidance of both the New Jersey Department of Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding the use of face masks to help reduce the risk of COVID-19. Based on present conditions, masks are optional but recommended on Stockton’s campuses.
-
Faculty may continue to require masks in their classes. KN95 and surgical masks are available at the Campus Center Information Desk, Wellness Center, Division offices, the library and off-site Stockton locations. Details are in the Campus Operations FAQ.

About Coronavirus
COVID-2019 is a respiratory infection caused by a novel (new) virus that arose from the area of Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Outbreaks of novel virus infections among people are always of public health concern. The risk from these outbreaks depends on characteristics of the virus, including how well it spreads between people, the severity of resulting illness, and the medical or other measures available to control the impact of the virus (for example, vaccine or treatment medications).
For additional information about COVID-19, including how it spreads, symptoms, prevention, treatment and preparedness, please visit the CDC coronavirus website or the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) website.
