- As COVID-19 becomes more of an endemic than a pandemic in the United States, UNC Charlotte continues to make some changes to campus protocols.

Masks will remain mandatory in the Student Health Center. “We continue to see manageable trends with COVID-19 on campus, which is consistent with trends in Mecklenburg County, the state and country,” said John Bogdan, associate vice chancellor for safety and security.
