Students who test positive for Covid-19 should notify the Student Health Center at 203-254-4000, ext. 2241. A nurse will review the university’s isolation protocol. A Contact Tracer nurse will interview students who have tested positive to identify close contacts.

According to the latest CDC guidelines, regardless of vaccination status, all people who test positive for Covid-19 will still need to self-isolate away from others for five full days. After the five-day isolation period, re-entering the university community is permitted if certain criteria are met, including wearing a mask for an additional five days. Students in isolation must receive permission from the Student Health Center nurse to return to the campus community. Students should plan to isolate themselves at home or in a private place.

Pursuant to CDC guidance dated 8/11/22, the University’s requirement for exposed unvaccinated students to quarantine away from others for 5 days has been removed.

Students identified through contact tracing will receive an email from the nurse stating that they should wear a mask for ten days after their last exposure, monitor for symptoms and test on day 5 after their last exposure.

As we have done since the start of the global Covid-19 pandemic, we continue to closely monitor the data from our testing program in conjunction with that of the surrounding community. Over the course of almost two years, we have managed our operations to maintain academic continuity and a solid student experience. As we are in the final days of the semester and to ensure our community’s ability to have a healthy and safe holiday with family and friends, we have made the decision to implement several mitigation strategies to respond to the recent increase in cases, both on campus and in the community. While the recent increase in the number of cases is not a cause for concern, it deserves our attention to ensure that all students are able to complete their final course requirements and get home safely.

Later in the semester the campus will not be closed, but during this period all non-essential meetings and functions on campus will be canceled or postponed. We encourage employees who are able to work remotely. Students who have completed their individual exams and are able to return home should do so. All exams scheduled for Friday, December 17 will take place as planned. However, we will be moving final assessments for our students to online or alternative formats where possible starting December 18th. Students will be contacted by their professors regarding the specifics and details of their exams. Faculty, staff, and students should follow announcements from the Provost, Vice President for Human Resources, and Vice President for Student Life.

We take these steps out of an abundance of caution. We have been successful to date as a university in navigating these complex waters, and by making this adjustment now, we can better serve the health and well-being of both our students and the community as a whole. We will continue to closely monitor public health guidelines, as well as state and local guidelines, and look forward to returning to in-person instruction and resuming activities on campus for the spring semester.

Meet Our Staff

The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff continues to be of the utmost importance as we navigate these unique circumstances, and I wish everyone a healthy and happy Christmas, a happy holiday season and a happy new year.

I can’t believe “summer” is over! Many of our fall athletes have been on campus for several weeks. This week, R.A. They will arrive and begin preparing our housing stock for the move. I suspect that most students look forward to the start of the academic year with a mixture of excitement, optimism and fear for the upcoming semester.

Over the past 18 months, we have all been asked to make permanent changes and adapt our daily routines as a result of Covid-19. We admit it was not easy. The University is committed to an ongoing assessment of how Covid-19 is impacting our campus community, city, state and country and will adjust accordingly as the semester progresses in a manner that preserves the health of our students and staff. It is too early to say exactly what these adjustments are. I assure you that any decision made will be communicated to you accordingly.
