UW-Madison’s students will be more closely monitored next semester.
A mobile app called “Safer Badgers” will be students’ and employees’ “key to campus,” representing a “significant change from the fall semester,” Chancellor Rebecca Blank wrote in a Friday email.
All students living in the Madison area, including those who live off-campus and have only online classes, will be denied entry to campus buildings unless they are up to date on a twice-weekly COVID-19 test requirement.
Graduate students and employees must test regularly, though how often it’s required will depend on their job and how often they are on campus.
