This website is a way for faculty, staff, students, and their families to stay informed about ULM's response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States. This remains an evolving situation. Updates will be added as information becomes available.

In charting a path forward amid the COVID-19 pandemic, ULM is committed to providing students, faculty and staff with an environment where
scholarship, research, leadership and creative expression can continue to thrive. The following protocols will serve as a guide for the university as it gradually
reopens campus to these vital endeavors.
Human coronaviruses spread just like the flu or a cold — through the air by coughing or sneezing; through close personal contact, like touching or shaking hands; by touching an object or surface with the viruses on it; and occasionally, through fecal contamination.
Health-care professionals say one of the most important ways to help stop the spread of any virus is frequent and thorough hand-washing with soap and water for 20 seconds or longer. We should also practice social distancing and avoid those handshakes and hugs that are common on our campus. Each of us should do our part to follow these guidelines and others issued by the CDC.
Our highest priority is the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. We will also do our best to ensure that students’ academic progress continues and students can achieve their course goals this quarter.
