Sickness on Campus

Students and employees feeling unwell should follow these general guidelines:

• If you have symptoms of the flu or COVID-19, especially fever or a cough, consider staying at home.
• If you come to campus with symptoms, please consider wearing a mask to avoid spreading the illness.
• Monitor symptoms and follow healthcare provider instructions.
• If a temporary illness or medical condition affects your ability to attend class, please work directly with your instructor or manager to see if any reasonable accommodations are available.
• If you have a longer-term illness or condition that requires accommodations, please contact the Disability Services office.

For full-time, benefitted employees:

Work with your manager to find reasonable solutions for employees who are sick. The Remote Work Policy, Remote Work Procedures, and Employee Leave Policy should be followed.

As capable and trusted disciples of Jesus Christ, all members of our campus community have a responsibility to be respectful and considerate to others. To prevent the spread of illness on campus, the following guidelines are recommended:

• Wear a high-quality mask if you are feeling unwell or are susceptible to infection.
• Wash your hands regularly with anti-bacterial soap. Use hand sanitizer.
• Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing, using your elbow or a tissue – not your hands.
• Avoid touching your face whenever possible.
• Clean and sanitize surfaces before and after use.
• Practice good hygiene and keep your living and workspaces clean.
• Improve ventilation in your home to reduce the spread of airborne illnesses.
• Stay up-to-date on vaccinations, including for the flu and COVID-19.
