End of semester updates
As we approach the end of the semester, we want to provide information to help you plan ahead.
Mandatory Status Changes
- When courses and exams officially end on April 30, the system will automatically move mandatory participants who were enrolled in an in-person course, to volunteer status. If you are enrolled in an on-campus Summer course, you will revert back to mandatory status on the start date of the course.
- For students in MSU housing, your mandatory status will update to volunteer once you officially end your housing contract. If you are living on campus for the summer, your mandatory status will continue.
- Students who have been working or conducting research on campus will remain listed as mandatory in the system. If you will not be working over the summer, please complete a Change of Status Form to request removal from mandatory status. Your supervisor will be asked to approve the request.
How to Opt-Out for the Summer (we hope you don't!)
EDP participants who are currently designated as volunteer or will become volunteer once their mandatory status drops, will remain in the system and may continue with weekly testing. If you would like to pause testing over the summer so that you don't receive reminders, please visit the
registration form and
"opt-out" by changing YES to NO on the question asking if you agree to participate. To opt-in later, simply change your registration back to YES.
NOTE: Mandatory participants cannot "opt-out" until their status becomes volunteer.
Summer Locations and Hours
A number of residence hall locations will be closing for the summer and will not offer kit pick-up or drop- off. The list currently includes
Akers, Brody and Case North, and may include others in the coming weeks. Visit the
EDP website to find alternate locations and view any changes to summer drop days and hours.
Commencement
For those of you graduating, CONGRATULATIONS! We encourage you to remain in the program and test before your ceremony to ensure you are keeping your family and fellow graduates healthy.
