Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic there have been a number of restrictions set up on campus and around the community. In Aug. of 2020 members of UNK student Health & Counseling commented on the issue with messages about back doors being available for sick students and offering locations for students looking to get tested for the virus.

UNK moved into Phase II of the campus’s COVID-19 plan, loosening restrictions on off-campus visitors to residence halls among other changes.
