With new federal guidance recommending people in areas of substantial or high transmission of the Coronavirus mask up indoors, regardless of vaccination status, colleges and universities are announcing changes in policy for the upcoming Fall semester.

According to CBS 12 in Providence, UMass Dartmouth's Fall 2021 semester plan says face coverings will be not required on campus for those who are fully vaccinated, but notes Massachusetts guidance still requires face coverings to be worn in some settings, including public transportation and health and child care centers.
