What should I do if a student reports that they have tested positive for COVID-19?

Faculty should demonstrate appropriate flexibility with students who need to isolate or quarantine due to COVID-19 in the same way they would have accommodated ill students before the pandemic. The method or approach to providing content and makeup work for the students is at the faculty member’s discretion.

Faculty should refer to the COVID-19 Classroom Guidance.
Should the class be notified of a student testing positive for COVID-19?

No. Faculty should not notify the class of a student testing positive for COVID-19.
