1. Do you not feel well?
2. Have you tested positive for COVID-19?
3. Have you been in contact with someone who has contracted COVID-19?

Step 1: Contact Student Health Services

• Call 724.738.2052 to speak with a nurse to discuss your symptoms, testing options or a quarantine/isolation plan.

Step 2: If you live on campus, contact Residence Life

• If you live on campus, contact Residence Life at 724.472.8307 for assistance and guidance on next steps.

Step 3: Plan your meal pick up or delivery

• For those who have meal plans, whether you live on or off campus, contact Dining Services at 724.738.2038 or dining@sru.edu.
• If you need meals, but do not have a meal plan, contact Student Support at student.support@sru.edu for assistance.

Step 4: Connect with your faculty

• If you have in-person classes and cannot attend or if you are ill and cannot complete work, email student.affairs@sru.edu and our office will send an absence notification to faculty on your behalf. Be aware that an absence notification is provided as a courtesy and does not excuse you from any of the work required for the class; it only serves to make faculty aware of the situation. Once well, you should discuss any missed assignments or exams with your faculty.
• If you are well and your classes are online, please keep attending your classes as you normally would. In this instance, send your faculty member an email to let them know you are in quarantine or isolation.
• In the rare event that you may need to be hospitalized for any reason, contact Student Support at student.support@sru.edu and a case manager can help walk you or a family member though potential next steps for class assignments, returning to the University and support options.

Step 5: Quarantine testing

• If you are in quarantine and need to schedule a test, call Student Health Services at 724.738.2052 to schedule.
• If you are in quarantine and are not sure if you need a test, call Student Health Services at 724.738.2052 to determine next steps.
• If you are in quarantine and have questions about testing, call Student Health Services at 724.738.2052 for assistance.

Step 6: Connect with Student Support

• Students in quarantine or isolation sometimes feel lonely and may experience a negative mental health impact. Student Support can help you work through this and find individually tailored ways to help you feel supported during this time. Email the office at student.support@sru.edu .
• Student Support has a peer social and emotional wellness team, known as Boost, if you would like to speak with, or get guidance from, a peer perspective. Email student.support@sru.edu to be connected with a peer who might be able to help.
• Students in quarantine or isolation are sometimes impacted financially due to restrictions impacting their ability to work. Financial assistance may be available during this time. Email student.support@sru.edu to learn more.

• In the rare event that you may need to be hospitalized for any reason, contact Student Support at student.support@sru.edu and a case manager can help walk you or a family member though potential next steps for class assignments, returning to the University and support options.
