COVID Information and Campus Updates
Campus Updates Regarding COVID-19
With the recent end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11, TLU is also making some changes to our COVID-19 protocols. In addition to the current CDC Precautions for COVID, here are the latest updates for TLU:
- The TLU COVID-19 leadership team is officially rolled backup into the Safety and Emergency Management Committee
- Health & Wellness will treat students with COVID-19 going forward like any other illness (flu, strep-throat etc)
- Students, faculty, and staff will no longer need to report positive COVID-19 cases to the Student Health and Wellness Center as they will not be tracking them anymore.
- Students WILL however still need to report to their respective faculty if they will be out of class because of a positive COVID-19 case. Faculty may require a doctor’s note which can be requested through TLU Care or a physician.
- Students with symptoms can still get tested at the Health and Wellness clinic but additional take-home COVID-19 antigen tests will no longer be provided for free once current supplies run out.
If you have a health related COVID-19 question, please direct them to Health & Wellness (healthservices@tlu.edu). All other questions may be emailed to the Safety & Emergency Management Committee (semc@tlu.edu).
Additional Information:
- Masks are not required in all indoor or outdoor spaces.
- Vaccination and Exemption Reporting is not required for new students, faculty, or staff members. For current students, faculty, and staff who previously submitted a vaccine record or exemption form, those documents will remain on file with TLU Student Health Services and Human Resources.
- There are no event capacity limits so all venues can be occupied at 100% capacity.
- COVID-19 testing is no longer required. Students who want a COVID test should contact the TLU Student Health Services in the Hahn Annex (formerly the CSL) at healthservices@tlu.edu.
- Isolation and quarantine procedures remain the same and align with CDC guidelines.
