COVID-19 protocols for fall 2023 semester

The following reminders are offered as an uptick of COVID-19 cases are being reported in South Texas and throughout the country.

In the interest of keeping our community safe, you should not attend in-person classes or come to work on campus if you are ill or have been exposed to any infectious disease. Follow CDC and/or local health official guidelines. Communicate with your faculty members, coach and/or supervisor if you are unable to attend class or come to work due to illness.

As a reminder, the COVID-19 protocols for the fall 2023 are the same as last semester with one exception: There is no longer a self-report form just for athletes.

The following protocols must be followed by students, faculty and staff who receive a positive result for COVID-19:


• Students Living in the Residence Halls: Must submit a Self-Report Form when diagnosed as COVID positive. They also must notify their professors of their isolation dates calculated with the use of the CDC calculator.

•  Athletes: No longer have to submit a Self-Report form when diagnosed with COVID-19 (unless they live in a residence hall); however, they must notify their professors and coaches of their isolation dates calculated with the use of the CDC calculator.

• Commuter Students: Are not required to submit a Self-Report form, but must notify their professors of their isolation dates calculated with the use of the CDC calculator.

• Employees: Are not required to submit a Self-Report form, but must notify their supervisors of their isolation dates calculated with the use of the CDC calculator.
