COVID Updates and Information
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:
