Dec. 23 Message from Sigrid Solomon on Arrivals Back to Campus for Spring Semester 2022
View the general COVID protocols for Spring 2022.
All Main Students (residential, commuters, vaccinated and unvaccinated):
All students returning (and those that have stayed on campus) from Winter Break will be required to complete a formal check-in process. Every student will complete a Covid Arrival Form through PRIVIT within 24 hours of their arrival and complete a temperature check and a COVID-19 Test upon arrival. The times for this will be from 9:00am to 6:00pm on Wednesday, January 5th, 2022 at the CSS Turf field. Each student is expected to click this Sign-Up Genius link to facilitate the process for the wellness checks. There are 20 slots per 15-minute time block. Please make sure to be properly masked and to try to maintain proper social distancing.
For any students traveling a significant distance, it would be suggested that you can take a Rapid Covid Test at home to get an initial health assessment prior to traveling to campus. However, this test will not replace the on-campus test. All students will be required to complete the campus Rapid Covid Test. If any student receives a positive Rapid Covid Test, then they will be required to leave campus return to their home address. A separate return arrival date will then be determined once you complete the required isolation period, which will be arranged with the Office of Health Services, in conjunction with the Athletic Training staff. If you have tested positive within the 90 days prior to January 5, you will need to provide proof of the positive test results in order to waive the on-campus testing on January 5th.
