COVID-19 Information

Students should handle a COVID infection as they would any other illness. Please contact your instructor to determine how to make up any classes you need to miss.
There is a possibility that some classes may need to go online briefly if the instructor must isolate or quarantine, so be sure to check your emails regularly for class updates.

Students and employees should:
– Not come to campus if they are ill.
– Get tested for COVID-19, even if you have been vaccinated, should you develop symptoms. If you need a COVID-19 home test, please contact the office of the Dean of Students.
– Wear a mask if you’ve tested positive or feel more comfortable doing so
– Continue to follow protocols if you have tested positive

COVID-19 vaccinations
COVID-19 vaccinations are available at your healthcare clinic, as well as local pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens and Walmart.

Accommodations
If you have a disability that impacts your ability to attend in-person activities, or you have a specific concern related to health conditions, you may work with Disability Support Services to explore possible accommodations. Employees should contact Human Resources.

Monkeypox Information

Monkeypox is a rare viral infection that is caused by a virus similar to the smallpox virus. This virus causes milder symptoms and is rarely fatal.

Symptoms
Fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle aches and backache, swollen lymph nodes, respiratory symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, or cough, rash similar to pimples or blisters that may be painful or itchy.

How it spreads
– Direct contact with skin wounds or body fluids of an infected person
– Direct contact with surfaces that have infected body fluids on them (bedding, clothing)
– Rarely through droplets from someone’s nose or mouth during prolonged face-to-face contact

Protect Yourself
– Avoid skin-to-skin contact with someone who has a rash that looks like monkeypox
– Avoid contact with objects that a person with monkeypox has used
– Wash your hands often

What if you have symptoms
– Isolate at home and contact a healthcare provider
– Avoid close contact with others, including household members and pets
– Wear a mask when you are around household members and when you leave the house
