Note: N95-type face masks are still expected for individuals who are completing isolation on campus whenever you are outside of your bedroom.
If a resident needs to complete isolation on campus, they will either stay in their own space or request the use of an emergency space.
If you need to use an emergency space, we recommend students bring enough supplies for up to 10 days. See our packing list for more suggestions.
Staying In Your Space
During your isolation, you must remain out of public places. This includes lounges, lobbies, study spaces, the information desk, hallways, and other common areas. The only reason to leave your space is to go to your assigned bathroom, to be tested for COVID-19, to retrieve food or critical packages, or to go to a critical medical appointment. N95-type masks are required at all times you are outside of your isolation space.
Do not interact with others in person. People with active COVID-19 need to physically separate from others to ensure mutual health and safety. You should not use public transportation or ride-sharing.
Dining Information
Students in Isolation are not allowed to consume food in the dining halls. Students in isolation must coordinate their own food until their isolation period is completed (for example, using the M Food Co. “To Go” program and asking a friend to drop off their food).
Deliveries
If a package arrives that you need before ending isolation, you need to wear an N95-type mask to and from the pick-up location. You should not linger in any public spaces.
