Carleton College recognizes the significant impact COVID-19 has had on our community since 2020. As the pandemic has evolved, our practices have changed to reflect this. 

As of June 5, 2023:

  • COVID-19 and Influenza vaccinations are strongly recommended. Please see the Campus Handbook for more information on the Carleton Vaccination policy.
  • In-person testing for COVID-19 is available to students during academic terms through Student Health and Counseling (SHAC), and self-administered tests are available on campus as supplies allow. 
  • Individuals who test positive for COVID-19 are expected to inform their faculty and supervisors of their illness and follow CDC guidance on isolation and masking. These individuals are also responsible for notifying any close contacts.
  • Students who test positive for COVID-19 will isolate-in-place during their illness. A limited number of dedicated isolation spaces will be available. 
  • Updated information regarding COVID-19 and other infectious disease concerns can be found on the SHAC website. For specific questions not answered here, please contact Maggie Prunty, Infectious Disease Lead.
