• Isolation at home for five days is no longer required. Stay home while you are experiencing symptoms and/or have a fever.
• Return to class when you have been fever free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications and also reduction in symptoms.
• Take precautions and inform your contacts. If symptoms do not improve within 48 hours, please return to the Wellness Center.

Vaccinations

Students in the Cummings School of Nursing & Health Sciences with clinical placements must confirm vaccination and/or bivalent booster requirements with the Director of Clinical Education.

Students who are in clinical courses are required to have the primary COVID-19 vaccine and booster or single bivalent vaccine. These requirements are determined by the requirements of our clinical partners for students having clinical experiences in their facilities.

Students may apply for medical or religious exemptions in the School of Nursing dean’s office at . Students who are not vaccinated risk their eligibility for assignment to clinical and/or internship sites, and therefore, continuation of the program of study.
