Student Return to Campus Protocols

In light of the updated CDC guidelines that were effective January 2022, we have made a change to the quarantine protocols. These protocols are in alignment with CDC guidelines and recommendations and are subject to change at any time. Use this link if you have you been exposed to or tested positive for COVID19?

IF YOU TESTED POSITIVE

If you've tested positive and have symptoms, ISOLATE 10 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE SYMPTOMS STARTED.

  • If symptoms fully resolve, isolation may be shortened and end after day five or on the first day after this without symptoms.

IF you tested positive for COVID but never had symptoms (or ASYMPTOMATIC), ISOLATE 5 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF YOUR TEST.

    • Wear a well-fitting face mask.
    • Isolation should be extended to 10 days if a mask cannot be worn properly and consistently for 5 additional days.

IF YOU ARE NOT FULLY VACCINATED OR BOOSTER ELIGIBLE AND NOT HAD YOUR BOOSTER, AND HAVE BEEN IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS TESTED POSITIVE (THIS INCLUDES LIVING WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS COVID), QUARANTINE FOR 10 DAYS. 

  • Quarantine may be shortened to 5 days if you have no symptoms and test negative for COVID-19 on day 5.
  • Wear a well-fitting face mask for 10 days from your last exposure.
  • Stay home and get a test if symptoms develop.

IF ARE BOOSTED AND FULLY VACCINATED AND/OR NOT YET BOOSTER ELIGIBLE* and have been in CLOSE CONTACT with someone diagnosed with COVID-19

  • You do not need to quarantine if you do not have symptoms.
  • Wear a well-fitting face mask for 10 full days from your last exposure.
  • Get tested for COVID-19 on day 5.
  • Stay home and get a test if symptoms develop.

Be sure to report positive Covid cases of all students and employees as well as positive infections impacting entire classes of students to Human Resources.

  • If a student, physical location/campus where the student took the class
    • On campus student or online only student 
  • For students and employees, last date on campus or in the office
