Housing & Residential Education Student Affairs

On-campus isolation 

Students living with Housing & Residential Education should take appropriate precautions to protect the community whenever feeling ill. If a student tests positive for COVID, please follow the below instructions*:

• While isolating, students may only leave their room to go to a healthcare provider. When leaving the room, they must always wear a mask.
• Students may place a mobile food order to pick up and return to their room to eat. Students may not eat in any dining facility. Students without a meal plan may place an order for mobile delivery with the Starship app.
• Students should not use residence hall common spaces such as lounges, community kitchens, fitness rooms, and laundry facilities.
• Students may not attend classes or other in-person gatherings.
• Students should not have visitors nor visit other students' rooms.
• If your roommate tests positive for COVID-19 OR is sick with another contagious illness (e.x., cold, flu, etc), please take precautions as advised by the CDC.

*Note: As guidance from the CDC evolves, please continue to follow their guidance for length of time to isolate. 

No dedicated isolation space 

The university will not offer a dedicated building for isolation and quarantine for the 2024-2025 academic year. Residents should be prepared to enact their off-campus isolation plan or isolate in place.
