COVID Updates and Information
PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THE UPDATED FALL 2023 COVID PROTOCOL
Since January 2020, Arcadia’s COVID response teams, including public health experts and University leadership across departments, have made it a priority to facilitate a safe and healthy living, learning, and working environment for Arcadia community members. The cross-collaborative efforts include our preparedness, flexibility, and decision-making processes. As we move forward after the pandemic, Arcadia looks forward to building on our successes and continuing to provide a rewarding and fulfilling experience for all University community members.
For the summer of 2023, we are still asking students to complete a self disclosure form if they test positive for COVID while on campus. Submissions are considered confidential and will not be shared in detail. Employees who tested positive for COVID-19 do not need to notify Healthy Knights but instead should notify their supervisor and, if necessary, HR at humanresources@arcadia.edu.
Need to report a positive test? For further instructions, please take a look at our:
