ISOLATION/QUARANTINE

For students in isolation or quarantine due to a positive test or being identified as a Close Contact, here are some helpful reminders:

  1. Virtual services available: Writing tutoring, course-based tutoring, and Learning Specialist services are available. Students can make virtual appointments for tutoring or with learning specialist using SSC navigate or schedule an appointment on the Learning Center website.
  2. Student Success Tips: See the helpful document attached to help students navigate isolation/quarantine and their academics, as well as identifying offices around campus who are here to help!
  3. Faculty Assistance: Faculty will work with students in isolation or quarantine. Each class brings different approaches as the class material, the class management and the class instructor are quite different across the campus. As such, each professor works to identify and establish ways for students to catch up on schoolwork, so they do not fall behind because of COVID-19. Faculty have experience working with students who have missed 1-2 weeks of class before COVID (car accidents, hospitalization, military deployment, etc.) and will continue to provide support for students. Faculty will continue to work with the students based on the course content and the student’s situation.
  4. Concerns: Students with concerns about their coursework while in isolation/quarantine are encouraged to reach out to their faculty. Other options for feedback include Department Heads, Deans, The Provost’s Office and the COVID Office. It is important that if a student is concerned, anxious and/or struggling that they reach out for assistance.
