Self-quarantine means you should stay in your place of residence, take your temperature twice a day and not go out until the quarantine period of 14 days is over. Should your temperature rise during your quarantine, please consult your doctor. Do not show up at an urgent care facility, hospital emergency room or doctor’s office unannounced – be sure to call first to let them know you have been in quarantine.

If you’re a student living off campus: You should quarantine in your place of residence. After the required days have passed, you must be cleared by your personal doctor. Please be sure to call ahead and let the physician's office know you have been in quarantine.

If you’re a student living on campus: You should quarantine at your off-campus home with your family if possible. After the required days, you must be cleared by your personal doctor. You should not return to your residence hall or go to your room until you receive direction from University of Memphis Housing and Residential Life staff. 

If you are a student living on campus who can’t quarantine off campus: You must contact the Residence Life Office so staff can assist you in setting up a place to quarantine on campus. Contact this department at housing@memphis.edu or 901.678.2295.

At the end of the quarantine, if you are free of symptoms and have followed quarantine procedures, you must make an appointment with your doctor to be cleared. Please be sure to call ahead and let the office know you have been in quarantine. 

Students must be symptom free for 24 hours to return to campus. For guidance, the UofM Student Health Center can be reached at studenthealth@memphis.edu or 901.678.2287.

Faculty will provide flexibility regarding absences related to COVID or any other contagious illness. Those absences will be excused. Students who miss classes are still responsible for the material covered in those classes.

Even vaccinated persons can pass the virus to others in some cases, and a person’s stated answer may or may not be reliable. The best approach is not to ask about vaccination status but to wear a mask and maintain distance in all indoor settings, regardless of another person’s immunization status.
