COVID-19 Expectations and Guidelines
Beginning August 9, all on-ground students will be required to complete mandatory weekly COVID-19 testing. Students can request an exemption from required screening for the following reasons:
- If they are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (2 weeks from date of last vaccination dose)
- If they have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days
To request an exemption, go to https://forms.office.com/r/6nt3nDPcUL. Please have your vaccination record with dates or positive test result documentation available for upload. Submissions are reviewed and approved by Health Service staff. Students are encouraged to submit their record as soon as it is available.
Residents who are moving in and have not submitted the approved exemption form are required to schedule a mandatory COVID test after arriving on campus. More information about scheduling testing will be available closer to move in. For additional information on the campus testing policy, please visit siue.edu/coronavirus.
- When you are inside, always wear a face-covering that covers your mouth and nose, except while you are in your own living unit. Face coverings are required in public spaces, regardless of vaccination status.
- Visit the Campus Face Mask/Distancing Guidelines page for additional information on where masks are required on campus.
- If you have been around someone who has tested positive or think you have COVID-19 symptoms, please fill out the COVID Self-Reporting Form.
- If you are awaiting COVID-19 test results, please quarantine at home or in your living unit until you get the results back and are cleared by Health Services and University Housing.
- Please wash/sanitize your hands on a regular basis and sanitize any frequently touched surfaces in your living unit and bathroom.
- Violations of COVID-19 expectations and guidelines may result in your removal from University Housing.
