Quarantine & Isolation Instructions

All of these instructions are from the protective practices policy.

If you have tested positive for COVID-19 regardless of your vaccination/booster status:

You will be required to remain in isolation for five days, beginning on the date that your first symptoms appeared or when your test was administered, whichever is earliest.
After five days, you may leave isolation if you have remained asymptomatic or your symptoms have resolved, you will be required to wear a mask indoors at all times while on campus for an additional five (5) days, even in situations where you wouldn’t normally be required to wear masks, such as within your household or while competing and performing. NCAA swimmers and divers are excepted from this requirement while actively training and competing.

If you are identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19:

Regardless of your vaccination/booster status:

You will be required to obtain a COVID-19 test five days after the date of your exposure to the positive person.

You will not be required to quarantine. You must, however, wear a mask indoors at all times while on campus for an additional ten (10) days, even in situations where you wouldn’t normally be required to wear masks, such as within your household or while competing and performing. NCAA swimmers and divers are excepted from this requirement while actively training and competing

Residential Life

If you need to isolate, you must move to temporary housing on campus. Residential Life will determine where you will go and will assist you with the transition.

For those that live off campus, we ask that you quarantine or isolate in your own private room away from others. If you are unable to do so, please let us know and we can provide temporary housing on campus.

Meals

There are frozen meals, beverages, and snacks stocked on your floor in the common area during quarantine or isolation. Please let us know right away if you run out of anything.

Please contact covidmeals@beloit.edu with any questions or concerns pertaining to meals.

Classes

An email will go out from the Dean of Students Office to your work supervisors and instructors informing them of your isolation or quarantine. However, you are responsible for reaching out to your instructors directly about any missed coursework.

Covid Concierge Service

The Covid Care Team will email a Google form to you every day. Please be sure to fill it out every day so that we can track how you are feeling and follow-up if necessary.

You may email us during regular business hours at covidcare@beloit.edu and we will be in touch as soon as possible. Non-urgent responses received outside of regular business hours (9:00am - 5:00pm) or over the weekend will be addressed the following business day.

Outside of business hours, you may also contact Security and they will put you in touch with the ResLife Pro Staff.

If you need immediate assistance in the event of an emergency, please contact Security.

Isolation Release

You will receive a final email notifying you of your release. Please do not leave isolation prior to receiving the release email.

If you temporarily moved, you must return your room key to the Office of Residential Life.

Please continue to wear your mask everywhere, physically distance yourself from others by at least 6 feet and follow all campus rules.
