ANN ARBOR – If you’re planning to visit, work or attend an indoor athletic event at  the University of Michigan campus, you have to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative-test results – or you won’t be admitted.

The new policy was announced this week in response to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases throughout the region. Face masks continue to be required and must be worn during all home indoor athletic events.

All guests and working personnel ages 12 and older will be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination OR a negative COVID-19 PCR or rapid test taken within 72 hours of the event. Upon entry to an indoor athletic venue, one of the following will be required:

  • An official, government-issued vaccination card listing the guest’s name and dates the last dose was administered
  • A photo or digital version of an official government-issued vaccination card listing the guest’s name and dates the last dose was administered
  • For U-M faculty/staff, displaying the ResponsiBLUE app to confirm compliance with the U-M COVID-19 vaccination requirement
  • For U-M students, displaying their valid MCard
  • A printed or digital negative COVID-19 PCR or rapid test administered by a healthcare professional within 72 hours of the event that includes the guest’s name and date the last test was administered. Over-the-counter or home testing kit results are not accepted

Individuals who cannot provide proof of vaccination or a valid negative COVID-19 test according to the conditions outlined above will not be allowed to enter a Michigan Athletics indoor event.

These changes will remain in effect until further notice.
