Protecting the Purple means the success of the coming year is up to you. We strongly urge every Horned Frog who is able to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to do so and to confirm their vaccine with TCU.

From TCU.edu, the official website of TCU. If you are a good frog who supports their alma mater then please pass this message along to support TCU having a successful fall semester.

Go Frogs!

It’s Great to Be Back on Campus

Now that we're back to an in-person fall semester, it’s up to every one of us to take personal responsibility for our health and well-being. TCU will continue to stay vigilant in its public health efforts by offering COVID-19 vaccines and testing at the Brown-Lupton Health Center.

For the safety of the Horned Frog family, we’ll continue to update our COVID-19 case counts and conduct contact tracing.

Here’s What We Can Expect

While physical distancing is no longer required for campus events and activities—both indoors and outdoors—unvaccinated students and employees are expected to continue practicing physical distancing. Class sizes are limited to provide space for students and faculty who self-select to physically distance in classrooms.


Due to the current Tarrant County Community Spread Level of “High Transmission,” TCU now requires that face masks be worn in all indoor campus spaces to help protect the health and safety of our community.

Health & Safety Guidance Update: Masks Required Indoors

Due to Tarrant County’s current designation as an area of “High Transmission,” TCU will require that face masks be worn in all indoor campus spaces to help protect the health and safety of our community, effective immediately. This includes all indoor common areas such as classrooms and meeting and event spaces.

So there you have it folks. TCU is going to do their part to help the community stop the spread. Let's all be good frogs and support TCU's initiative and our community by joining together and pledging to stop the spread by getting the vaccine, wearing masks, social distancing and frequently washing our hands. TCU grads are not townies, time to rise above the townie mentality and set a proud example of responsibility and compassion for our community. Do your part to help TCU be the leader that Fort Worth needs and ensure that TCU and all other organizations in our community are positioned for success, and not failure, in these uncertain times.

Go Frogs!

oh the irony of someone so focused on discrimination in many of their posts - and then they use the derogatory term "townie"

We can stop the spread and show that we are compassionate and care about the TCU community. Now is our chance to show that we value our professors, faculty and student body, let's show them that we care! We can do it Frogs, block out all the fake news and be a leading example for the good of the community. With our top nursing school and M.D. school the community looks towards TCU to be a leader in Fort Worth's medical field. Let's show Fort Worth, DFW, the West Coast and the world that we are up to the challenge and make our community a safe and successful place to live. One for all and all for one, Go Frogs!

Message to students and families about fall 2021 plans
Posted on August 11, 2021Updated: August 11, 2021

Dear students and families,

We are excited to welcome you to the Hilltop and want to share what to expect before you arrive. We are returning to a traditional semester, with some exceptions, in order to maintain a healthy and safe campus. Our faculty and staff are eagerly awaiting you and looking forward to engaging you in interactive class learning and vibrant campus life.

Rest assured that we are moving forward with careful consideration of the changing pandemic conditions in North Texas, and are continually assessing the impact to our community.

Here is some insight into how we manage the pandemic at SMU: We have an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) that closely monitors the virus trends and meets regularly with local health authorities to determine the best path for our University. This group uses key data points such as local infection and hospitalization rates as well as campus-specific information on cases, isolation capacity and vaccination reports to guide its recommendations. We know what has worked in the past, and can pivot quickly to contingency plans, if necessary.

Mask update

Effective tomorrow, August 12, SMU is temporarily requiring masks (two or more layers covering the nose and mouth) in indoor spaces on campus, including classrooms, event and meeting spaces, and common areas in all buildings and residential halls regardless of vaccination status. Masks are not required in private spaces such as residence hall rooms for students with roommates.

All events, such as Convocation and orientation, should continue as planned with masks being used indoors. This requirement is a temporary precaution during the Delta variant surge to supplement our other pandemic protocols. We will continue to monitor and review industry-specific guidance and recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state public health authorities in order to make the best decisions for our community.

COVID-19 vaccinations and testing

We strongly encourage you to get the vaccine to protect yourselves, your loved ones and our SMU community. We offer vaccinations and testing right on our campus at the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center. I am grateful to the students and employees who have received the vaccine and voluntarily reported their vaccination status. We believe that many more are vaccinated than have reported, and are reaching out to students and employees to encourage them to report through the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center so we have a better estimate of our campus vaccination rates.

In-person learning

We are no longer offering virtual classes and look forward to having you in class and at campus events.

Contact tracing, isolation and quarantining

We continue our essential pandemic protocols such as contact tracing and case management to identify and offer resources to those who test positive for COVID-19.

For our residential students, we have set aside 44 double-occupancy rooms for isolation spaces and will provide delivery of food for three meals a day during the required 10-day stay for positive cases. A quarantine will also be required for those identified as a close contact of a positive case unless the student demonstrates proof of vaccination.Residential students can choose to isolate and quarantine on campus or at another location of their choice. An easy way to show proof of vaccination is to upload an image of your vaccine card to a secure online portal at the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center. If you are a returning student who was vaccinated last year on campus, that vaccination will be automatically added to your record.

Thank you for putting your trust in SMU. We understand that you may have continued concerns about the pandemic, and urge you to make decisions that support your health and the health of others, including getting the vaccine and wearing a mask. We also ask that all our community members support one another and promote a culture of respect.

Please check our Mustang Strong website for the latest updates and answers to questions about our campus response to COVID-19. Also, watch for upcoming Mustang Strong newsletters for quick reminders.

Pony Up! We’ll see you soon.

do they require stalkers hiding in the bushes that are actually on campus to wear masks?

With SMU requiring two masks, surely the one mask TCU is temporarily requiring indoors is a compromise we can all agree on and live with. We can get through this together, Go Frogs!

Not to be political... but maybe this is the one thing all college educated can go bipartisan on.

Who knows. Wake me up when the Tri-Delta variant hits.

During Hiphopfroggy's scholastic days he caught the Tri Delta variant the most. Think hiphop only caught the chi o and pi phi variants a couple of times each but boy were they great. And don't tell anyone but hiphop caught the Delta Gamma variant a couple of times as well, which may have been the skrongest variant of all, but for some reason nobody wanted anybody to know when one had caught the DG variant. I guess the DG variant had a bad reputation for being the nastiest of all the variants so hiphop had to keep that to himself.

The Lambda variant is apparently neutralizing vaccines. How did I miss the Kappa variant?

They don't know that for sure. 1 scientific report out of Peru said that might be happening and encouraged the medical community to monitor it.

And if it did, that would be a gigantic pole it jumped.
