COVID-19 Screening and Testing Process
If you test positive, have symptoms, or were exposed to COVID-19:
- Follow the CDC’s guidance for determining if/when to isolate and take other precautions.
- Contact your primary care physician or reach out to Student Health or Employee Health Services for care and guidance, especially if you have a specific health concern.
IMPORTANT
In all cases, it is your responsibility to communicate with your supervisors or instructors as soon as possible should the situation impact your ability to fulfill work or academic duties. As always, if you are sick or feeling ill, stay home and do not come to campus!
Students should also seek guidance from their instructors on how to successfully complete course work if quarantine, isolation, or illness causes absences. Faculty and supervisors are advised to be flexible with their students and employees and provide support, as needed.
