Supporting our health protocols and policies is the key to sustaining many of the in-person, on-campus activities and experiences we all enjoy. At this time, Quinnipiac has moved to a mask-optional policy across its campuses.
If you're feeling sick:
On-campus testing is available by appointment at Student Health Services.
If you tested positive for COVID, please:
You should isolate in your on-campus or off-campus housing for at least 5 days (day 0 is the day of symptom onset or the day you test positive).
If you can go home that is encouraged, otherwise you must wear a mask. (i.e. in bathrooms, while getting food).
If you have no symptoms, you may end isolation after day 5.
You do not need to retest on day 5.
So long as you have no fever for 24 hour, without the use of Advil/Tylenol, you can go back to class wearing a mask for 5 additional days.
If you have or had symptoms and have or had moderate illness (you experienced difficulty breathing) to severe illness (you were hospitalized or have a weakened immune system), isolate through day 10 and consult a healthcare provider before ending isolation.
If you tested positive for COVID outside of the health center, please complete the COVID positive reporting form online.
Upon completion of the form, a letter will be prepared by HHC’s Student Health Services clinical team. You can share the letter with your professors.
If you have a visit to the student health center and test positive, you will receive a letter from HHC at the time of the visit. You can share the letter with your professors.
The letter will only be available in your MyChart portal account. It will be available no later than 1 business day from submission.
Please be sure to sign up for MyChart to access and download your professor notification letter.

Beginning with the Fall 2023 semester, Quinnipiac will no longer require students, faculty or staff to have completed the primary vaccination series for COVID-19. However, it is strongly recommended that the entire university community stay up to date with all recommended COVID boosters.
Note: Students in the schools of Education, Health Sciences, Medicine and Nursing with clinical/education placements must confirm vaccination and/or booster requirements with their clinical, fieldwork and/or internship coordinator.
Students who are in the professional component of the following programs are required to have the primary COVID-19 vaccine and booster (or single bivalent vaccine): Athletic Training, Cardiovascular Perfusion, Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Medicine, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Pathologist Assistant, Physical Therapy, Physician Assistant, Radiologist Assistant, and Radiologic Sciences.
Students may apply for medical or religious exemptions in their school’s dean’s office. These school policies supersede QU COVID vaccination/booster policies. Students who do not comply with the school requirement risk their eligibility for assignment to clinical, fieldwork and/or internship sites, and therefore, continuation of their program of study.
A pre-arrival test is not required before returning for the start of the Fall 2023 semester.
