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.
