Regis holding in-person classes
The University is planning on in-person classes for on-campus courses meeting at the Northwest Denver, Thornton and Denver Tech Center campuses. Instructors are being asked to be compassionate and flexible with absences due to illnesses or quarantines.
The following public health guidelines remain in place:
Vaccine recommendation: All on-campus students, faculty and staff are recommended to have a verified COVID-19 vaccine, and are encouraged to be up to date with all vaccine boosters as they are eligible to keep our community safe. The vast majority of complications due to COVID-19 are primarily in the unvaccinated population.
Health care and testing services: COVID-19 testing is also widely available and our Student Health Services office can do PCR testing with results in less than 60 minutes. The University will be providing rapid, at-home COVID tests in its residence halls and elsewhere on campus. Masks will also be available and recommended for anyone who has been exposed to or is recovering from COVID. Anyone who tests positive is expected to report their case to the University and self-isolate per current CDC protocols.
Vaccine clinic: Regis will be offering an on-campus influenza/COVID-19 vaccine clinic on Wednesday, September 21. Details to be announced soon.
Symptom monitoring
All faculty, staff and students are expected to monitor their health, promptly test if they experience any COVID-19 symptoms, and then self-quarantine until receiving either a negative test result (a PCR test if unvaccinated) or you are fever-free for 24 hours without medication and with symptoms improving.
Self-quarantine means staying off campus, or staying in your room if you are a residential student, until you receive a negative test and are symptom-free for 24 hours without medication. We expect an increase in viral and bacterial infections other than COVID-19, such as flu, but symptomatic individuals still must test for COVID-19 and self-quarantine to prevent spread.
Testing and positive case reporting
The University’s Student Health Service offers COVID-19 testing on the Northwest Denver campus. Students may make appointments via the online student health portal or call 303-458-3558. Nearby testing centers: covid19.colorado.gov/testing.
Students: If you test positive, or come in close contact like a roommate tests positive, contact the Student Affairs Office at 303-458-4086 studentaffairs@regis.edu or use the COVID-19 Positive Test Result Reporting Form to report a positive test.
Faculty and Staff: If you test positive, notify Human Resources immediately hrinfo@regis.edu, or the COVID-19 Positive Test Result Reporting Form to report a positive test.
If you test positive, immediately isolate yourself (do not physically attend class or work on campus) and seek medical attention.
When to quarantine or isolate
If you are not up to date on vaccines:
Those in close contact need to quarantine for at least 5 days from the date of last contact. Those in close contact should wear a well-fitting mask when around others for 10 days from the date of the last close contact with someone with COVID-19. If those in close contact do not have COVID-19 symptoms, they should watch for symptoms for 10 days and get tested at least 5 days after the contact. If they test positive, continue to isolate.
If you are up to date on vaccines:
If they have taken the full series of a COVID-19 vaccine and boosters as recommended, they are up to date. Those in close contact do not need to quarantine. Those in close contact should get tested at least 5 days after contact. Watch for symptoms and wear a well-fitting mask while around other people for 10 days from the date of last close contact. Regardless of vaccination status, if someone in close contact develops symptoms, they should isolate and get tested immediately. If they test positive, continue to isolate.
If you have had COVID-19 within the past 90 days, completed isolation, and recovered:
Those in close contact do not need to quarantine. Those in close contact should watch for symptoms and wear a well-fitting mask when around others for 10 days. Someone in close contact who had a prior infection in the past 90 days and who have symptoms should isolate immediately and get tested. If they test positive, continue to isolate.
IF YOU Tested positive for COVID-19 or have symptoms, regardless of vaccination status:
Isolate for at least 5 days
Stay home for 5 days and isolate from others in your home/living space. Wear a well-fitting mask if you must be around others in your home/living space.
Ending isolation if you had symptoms
End isolation after 5 full days if you are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and your symptoms are improving.
Ending isolation if you did NOT have symptoms
End isolation after at least 5 full days after your positive test.
If you got very sick from COVID-19 or have a weakened immune system
You should isolate for at least 10 days. Consult your doctor before ending isolation.
Take precautions until day 10
Wear a well-fitting mask
Wear a well-fitting mask for 10 full days any time you are around others inside your home or in public. Do not go to places where you are unable to wear a mask.
