Dear Students,
The current status of the novel coronavirus and its many variants necessitates a consistent vigilance to mitigation. Communications will send any updates to operations pursuant to the pandemic via email and post-announcement to the COVID-19 microsite. Please make sure that you check your email and the website for updates during the holiday break.
At the start of the Spring 2022 semester, all campus-based students must submit a negative COVID-19 test result received not more than five days before the beginning of the semester (January 4, 2022) or five days before their first day on campus, whichever is earlier. Test results should be sent to reportcovid19@tuskegee.edu.
Throughout the semester, students will be tested for COVID-19 according to cohort and sentinel testing protocols. When required, such individuals will be notified via email or the Golden Tiger Health Check. Testing will begin Tuesday morning, January 4, 2022.
Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, even if they have been vaccinated, should seek medical attention, and be tested for COVID-19 if prescribed. Anyone testing positive should report their test results to reportcovid19@tuskegee.edu. They should not come to campus until authorized by their physician or student health services.
Health Screening
All TU community members must take responsibility for monitoring their daily health for their benefit and the safety of their fellow TU community members. Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should not come to campus. Everyone will need to follow the template for health monitoring plus any specific screening questionnaires required by the Athletics Department or health science academic programs involving patient care. Everyone should take their temperature before leaving home or their residence hall each day as part of their daily health monitoring. Employees and students must use the Golden Tiger Health Check to report COVID-19 exposures or symptoms. The health check may be accessed at https://goldentigerhealthcheck.powerappsportals.com/en-US/. Beginning Spring 2022, you will also be able to book your appointment for a COVID-19 PCR at student health services using the Golden Tiger Health Check as needed.
