Posted February 11, 2022

Dear Campus Community,
We continue to monitor impacts and expectations surrounding Gov. JB Pritzker’s recent announcement related to the statewide mask mandate. We will work closely with IBHE, the SIU System and other entities to follow these developments.
For now, our campus wide mask requirements remain in place as detailed in the Face Mask and Distancing Policy.
Weekly On-Campus Vaccination Clinics
SIUE Health Service in collaboration with the Illinois Department of Public Health is offering weekly COVID vaccine clinics on campus. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines will be available for first, second or booster doses on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. in the Morris University Center (space formally known as THE BANK). This convenient vaccination opportunity will be available through Tuesday, March 15.
Schedule an appointment by clicking here. Registration is appreciated but walk ins will be accepted.
Weekly Testing
The weekly testing requirement continues for individuals who are unwilling or unable to become vaccinated. Schedule your next appointment through the SHIELD portal. Individuals who have a University-verified proof of a positive COVID test within the last 90 days AND a COVID Self-Disclosure on file do not need to test.
Isolation/Quarantine Expectations
If you test positive or are a close contact to a COVID positive individual, please carefully review the Isolation and Quarantine Guidance for the safety of all. If you’re not feeling well, please stay home. Monitor your symptoms closely. Do not leave isolation or quarantine early.
COVID-19 Dashboard
The COVID-19 Dashboard is updated weekly with campus wide COVID-19 data points. The digital resource continues to track our overall vaccination rate, and positivity rates related to our required weekly testing protocol.
Sincerely,
Randy Pembrook, Chancellor
Denise Cobb, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
Jessica Harris, Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
