COVID-19 Resources
You may have questions about the COVID-19 pandemic and beginning your studies at SIUE. Students are expected to follow the latest CDC guidelines asking that all air passengers coming to the United States, including U.S. citizens and fully vaccinated people, are required to have a negative COVID-19 test result no more than 3 days before travel or documentation of recovery from COVID-19 in the past 3 months before they board a flight to the United States. Be sure to check with your airline for additional screening and requirements. You can also view an International Travel Recommendations Quick Reference on the CDC website. If you are planning on living on-campus, please visit the University Housing website for more information.
The CDC guidelines at this time ask for a 10 day quarantine if you are not tested after traveling internationally. Please complete the International Intent Form to indicate the date you will arrive. Our office will then provide you with next steps to check in with our office closer to orientation week.
If upon arrival, you have been exposed to COVID-19 or are experiencing COVID-19 like symptoms, please stay home and contact SIUE Health Service at 618-650-2842 or cougarcare@siue.edu. We encourage you to check SIUE’s COVID-19 webpage for the latest updates about current SIUE protocols.
