Illness Policy Statement

Published or Revised October 04, 2024

Per CDC guidelines, stay home and away from others if you have respiratory virus symptoms that another cause cannot explain. Do not attend class if you have a fever (100.4°F or higher)

You can return to your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:

  • Your symptoms are getting better overall, and
  • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).

When you go back to your normal activities, take added precautions over the next five days, such as taking additional steps for hygiene, wearing masks, and physical distancing, if possible, when you will be around other people indoors.
