The Berkeley College Office of Student Development and Campus Life (SDCL) is the link to information on health matters, and we hold as paramount the health and safety of all students.
What to Do if You Test Positive for COVID-19
If you have tested positive for COVID-19, please isolate at home and follow the CDC’s respiratory virus guidance and recommendations on Preventing Spread of Respiratory Viruses When You’re Sick.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 and are symptomatic, please contact each of your professors to let them know that you cannot attend or participate in class in person (for onsite classes) or that you are not able to participate in online courses if your symptoms are too severe to allow you to complete coursework. You will need to arrange to make up any work that you miss. If you are having difficulty contacting your professors, contact your Academic Advisor for assistance with this.
If you have tested positive for COVID-19 but have never had symptoms, follow the CDC’s recommendations for added precautions in Preventing Spread of Respiratory Viruses When You’re Sick.
Diagnosed students are advised to stay home and follow medical directions regarding treatment.
