Communicable Illness Guidelines

For anyone coming to campus:

• Do not come to campus if you are ill; if you live on campus, please stay in your residence if you are ill.
• Be considerate of others. Be mindful of proximity to others, wash hands frequently, & cover coughs/sneezes to help stop the spread of germs & illnesses. N95 masks are available in the residence halls or in the Orendorff Building mailroom.
