Isolation and Quarantine

Positive tests, close exposure

• If you test positive for COVID-19, please review the current CDC guidelines for next steps.
• If you’ve been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, please review these CDC guidelines.

I’m a student. What are my options for isolation or quarantine?

• Students living in residence halls are encouraged to isolate/quarantine at home, if possible. In most situations students living in on-campus housing will isolate/quarantine in place. If you are not able to isolate/quarantine in place and are high risk, limited space is available for specific public health contagious illnesses. These decisions will be directed by Thielen Student Health Center.
• Students who live off campus or in campus apartments are responsible for their own isolation/quarantine living arrangements.
