Students who live off campus will be required to quarantine at their residence. During this period, they are required to remain off campus. If the student is ill or continues to manifest coronavirus symptoms, a further period of isolation and additional medical treatment may be required. Students may recieve additional direction for treatment and further isolation from the Student Health Center staff.

Such employees are strongly encouraged to follow the direction of their physicians. Employees who test positive off campus must notify the Student Health Center of their results so clearance from isolation can be arranged.
