IMPORTANT: Daily self-assessment for COVID-19
|
Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 19, all students must answer a short series of COVID-19 screening questions the first time they log in to the InfoCenter each day. Students who don’t regularly use the InfoCenter should still log in daily to complete the evaluation. This tool is not meant to take the place of consultation with a health care provider or to diagnose or treat conditions if you are feeling ill.
