Peay Mobile App & QR Codes

To help us effectively contact trace any positive cases on campus, the University wants all students, faculty and staff to "check in" when they enter certain buildings, offices and classrooms, sit at community tables or visit other communal spaces.

QR codes were recently placed in gathering spaces around the University. Whenever you enter a space with one of these QR codes, please scan it and "check in" with the PeayMobile app. That way we can let you know if you've been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

Wearing Masks Outdoors

Masks are required when you are outdoors on campus if you are within six feet of another person or you are attending a University-sponsored event. Please ensure you are wearing a mask when you are outside with others.

Large Events Off Campus

University administrators are concerned about your health and safety. Many large events and parties are being advertised off campus. Some businesses may have more people in their establishments than are recommended by state and local officials. Please protect yourself and avoid large gatherings, especially if they are indoors. Always wear a mask when you around people to protect yourself and those around you.

Eating in Buildings

For the safety of others, eating during class is prohibited. When you eat in other areas of a building, please do so in an expedient manner to minimize the length of time you are not wearing a mask.

Numbers provided are those active cases being tracked by the University administration. Our data is reliant upon students, faculty and staff filling out the COVID-19 form on the APSU COVID-19 Website, .
