Return to NLU
Whether you are enrolled in a full, or low residency program, a return to in-person instruction - or simply a visit to campus - helps to ensure a rich academic experience and vibrant campus environment.
What risk mitigation steps should you take based on COVID-19 Community Level?
According to CDC, COVID-19 Community Levels help communities and individuals decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area.

NLU Mask Policy:
Masks and face coverings are optional in public indoor areas in those campus locations where the community risk levels are high. To see the community risk levels, visit:
- Chicago and Wheeling Campuses: Cook County Risk Level
- Lisle Campus: DuPage County Risk Level
- Tampa Campus: Hillsborough County Risk Levels
NLU Community Expectations:
- When on campus, comply with all NLU public health and safety directives, they are informed by guidance from national, state and local municipalities.
- If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms associated with COVID-19 do not come to class or to campus, and follow notification procedures for students and employees.
- Compliance with safety and COVID-19 policies and protocols is both an individual and community responsibility. In a respectful and meaningful way, individuals are asked to hold themselves and each other responsible for collectively navigating our community through the end of the pandemic.
