COVID-19
The Daily Wellness Screening is no longer required. Please handle COVID-19 as you would any other illness. If you are feeling sick, please stay home and seek the advice of a medical professional.
Please continue to practice good hygiene while on campus. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing. It’s especially important to wash your hands before eating, preparing food or touching your face.
If you live on campus and are instructed to quarantine or isolate, please contact Housing and Residential Programs at 325-942-2035 or housing@angelo.edu, or contact a member of the residence hall staff for assistance.
If you are instructed to quarantine or isolate, you will be required to work individually with each of your professors to determine the appropriate method for continued class participation. Notifications will not be sent on your behalf. Your professors may ask for a medical document excusing you from class, if necessary.
In case of an illness requiring absence from class for more than one week, please notify the Office of the Dean of Students at 325-942-2047 or deanofstudents@angelo.edu. We’ll be here to help support you!
If you do not feel comfortable coming back to in-person classes, please seek online class opportunities or an ADA accommodation.
