Feeling under the weather?

The most effective way to control the spread of the sickness is social distancing. As a result, students need to keep in communication with their professors regarding class attendance and responsibilities if they are ill. Please inform your residence hall staff if you or someone you know may have an illness like the flu or COVID, so we can assist in protecting all involved.

If you are experiencing a fever, sore throat, cough, or any of the other symptoms, please consider doing the following:

• If you have chosen not to take any medication, stay in your residence hall room until 24 hours after the fever has subsided.
• If you have been taking fever-reducing medication, stay in your room until you have been able to stop using the medication and maintain a normal temperature for 24 hours.

For students who are feeling ill and stay in their room, arrangements can be made with dining services for meals to be delivered to you as needed. Any student living in the residence hall that has flu-like illness and is coughing or sneezing can obtain a surgical mask. Please reach out to the Resident Director of your hall for assistance.
