Preparation and Tips for Travel

• While we will have some masks available, we recommend you bring your own high-quality masks (such as an N95, KN95, or KF94)with you. You may also want to have a rapid antigen test for your personal use in case you develop symptoms while in Northfield.
• Consider a contingency plan in case you develop COVID-19 or are exposed to the virus traveling to or at the Class of 2020 Celebration. Isolation housing is not available during the weekend.

• We strongly encourage all attendees to take a rapid antigen test no more than 24 hours prior to arrival on campus. We recommend that you bring rapid antigen tests for personal use in case you develop symptoms in Northfield.
• Note that testing is not available through Carleton. If you or your guest(s) become symptomatic, plan to use the rapid antigen tests you brought or arrange your own testing.
• Any attendee testing positive for COVID-19 during the weekend must mask, isolate from other attendees, and make arrangements to leave campus promptly.
