Ahead of your arrival to campus, you can there are some things you can do to be best prepared for your arrival, for staying healthy and safe when on campus, and for the possibility of contracting COVID-19.

For information about preparing for travel and arrival, see What to do when preparing to return for fall semester.

Some other suggestions for getting ready to come to campus are:

• Important conversations: Before returning to campus, we strongly encourage you to have a conversation with your parents or family members about how you will manage a quarantine or illness, including sharing medical information, decision-making and general expectations. You should also have a similar conversation with your roommate(s) now to discuss how you will manage a quarantine or illness and agree as a team that you will do your best to stay healthy prior to your arrival. 
• Pack a “go bag”: If you have to move to isolation housing in the event you test positive, you will only have 60 minutes to leave your room. We recommend packing a back that includes anything you’ll need with you for the 10 days you’ll be out of your room. Prepare a list of additional items you’ll want to remember to pack.
