COVID Guidelines
Last Updated: April 11, 2022
What do I do if I test positive for COVID-19?
- Report all positive cases to the Health Center using the Student Report of Positive Case of COVID-19 form.
- Carefully review the COVID Positive Cases Guidelines (PDF) and Positive Test Flow Chart (PDF) to determine next steps.
What if I am exposed to someone with COVID?
If you are deemed a “very close contact,” it means you have been in close proximity to a COVID-positive person who fits the following description(s) below:
- A COVID-positive roommate
- A COVID-positive person living in the same household
- A COVID-positive significant other
- A COVID-positive person who you have spent an extended period of time with (this will need to be discussed further with the health center staff to determine appropriate precautions)
If you have been identified as a “very close contact,” you will need to follow the guidelines available below.
Please note: very close contacts will NOT need to quarantine off campus unless they are unvaccinated.
