If you are planning on living on-campus, University Housing requests that you continue to follow the CDC guidance as it relates to post-international travel, and residents should plan to quarantine for at least 7 days after arrival. Brand new residents for spring will be required to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before checking in for the first time. University Housing will communicate with international students about alternative plans, should testing not be available to them. University Housing questions regarding quarantine should be directed to housing@siue.edu.
