Updates on Spring Quarter
COVID-19 protocol in spring quarter remains similar to fall and winter guidelines, with a few changes: Updated state and local guidance has shorted the isolation period, if certain criteria are met; also, after May 1 on campus, masks will be recommended but not required in health care settings. Free masks will continue to be offered on campus.
COVID-19 Testing
Many testing options exist for those with or without symptoms. Students experiencing COVID-19 symptoms can seek medical care at Campus Health and Wellbeing. There are also testing locations in the community, and at-home tests available for purchase at local pharmacies and on campus.
