D&E COVID-19 statistics
The cooperative effort to maintain a safe and healthy campus is the top priority at D&E. In an effort to provide a complete picture about the status of COVID-19 on campus, click here for updated 2021 COVID data and click here for updated vaccination data.
Actions required for May 2021 graduates
Details and requirements are available for students graduating in May, including:
- students who have not applied for May 2021 Graduation must contact Amelia Rossi at rossia@dewv.edu or by calling Ext. 1280

Masks are still mandatory! Don’t relax!
Students are reminded that masks are still mandatory in the classroom on the D&E campus. While vaccine distribution is proceeding nationwide, COVID-19 vaccinations are still not yet available to college student populations in West Virginia. A safe and healthy campus means students must continue to be diligent wearing face masks, practicing social distancing, washing hands frequently, and refraining from gathering in large groups. Serious disciplinary actions have occurred this academic year for violation of safety protocols on campus. If you see a violation of the College Code of Conduct, you can report it using this form.
Random, mandatory COVID-19 testing on campus
Each week 10% of the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) are required to be tested for COVID-19. This has been mandated by the State of West Virginia and utilizes the VAULT saliva-based PCR test instrument. If you receive an email indicating you have been selected to test, you are required to comply.

COVID-19 cases on the D&E campus continue to decrease, and the commitment to health and safety among students is deeply appreciated. However, there have been scattered reports that some students have relaxed face mask wearing and COVID-19 safety measures. Students are urged to continue adherence to D&E safety protocols, including wearing masks, social distancing, hand washing, etc. Thank you for this continued commitment and stay safe.
