Coming back to work on campus? Here’s what you need to know
Personnel who are returning to work on the Danforth Campus next week should review the Return to Campus section of the HR website and pay close attention to the requirements for returning to campus. All personnel must complete Return to Campus Training and also conduct a daily self-screening each day before coming to work. If you do not have a thermometer to take your temperature, contact your manager.
To complete the self-screening, visit screening.wustl.edu. This replaces the current BJC Screening Portal that was initially shared.
