COVID-19 TESTING POLICY 

Please note that this policy may change based upon the infection rates in Wake County

  • You may choose  to wear a mask at any time; however, wearing a mask indoors will no longer be required, except during visits to the Student Health Center. 
  • Aside from chronic conditions, if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: coughing, shortness of breath, fever, fatigue, body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, you should mask and take a COVID-19 test as soon as possible.   
  • If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or were recently exposed to someone with COVID-19, wear a mask and report your result to the Student Health Center, immediately. 
  • In addition to the policy set forth in this document, athletes will follow all NCAA compliance rules as they become available. 

 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A STUDENT TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID-19?  

  • If you have tested positive, do not come to campus for any reason until you have been cleared by the Student Health Center. 
  • Students who test positive for COVID-19 will be sent a letter outlining the isolation requirements and the process for returning to campus and to class. Decision regarding COVID-19 policy is based upon CDC recommendations and the advice of local medical experts. 
  • After the isolation period, the campus doctors will issue a clearance letter. The Student Health Center can also provide clearance letters to third parties at the request of the student. 
  • The Office of Disability Services will contact the student’s instructors regarding class absences.  
  • If you have been in close contact with someone who is COVID-19 positive, the CDC recommends fully vaccinated persons test within 5-7 days after contact. 
  • All members of the campus community are expected to abide by the COVID-19 Policy.  For the health and safety of our campus community, students who are out of compliance with this policy will not be allowed to participate in any on-campus activities or attend in-person classes.  
  • The Office of Judicial Affairs reserves the right to suspend or dismiss students for violating the campus’ COVID-19 policy.  
  • Refusal to isolate or quarantine is also considered a judicial violation and may result in suspension or dismissal.
