Returning to campus safely

Fall 2021

The college is phasing in the return of faculty, staff, students, and visitors to campus in a coordinated process that includes appropriate health and safety measures.

During the Fall 2021 semester, some students, faculty and staff will be participating in on-campus activities. These individuals will be required to wear a mask at all times when on campus, will be screened for COVID-19 symptoms prior to arrival on campus, and if symptoms or potential exposures are reported, will be required to get tested for COVID-19.

In addition to the required testing of individuals who report symptoms or potential exposure, the college has also implemented weekly COVID-19 testing of all students and employees on campus.

The Fall semester runs from September 8 - December 16. The chart below will show the number of positive tests biweekly along with a running semester tally over Fall 2021.

About testing at Labouré:

Labouré College of Healthcare is a commuter campus with no residence halls. The need for testing is assessed daily through a symptom check for those who plan to come to campus. All persons coming to campus must receive clearance to enter campus via the daily symptom check.

This symptom check is completed by all persons each day before coming to campus. If symptoms are reported, the person does not receive clearance to come to campus, and is required to get tested for COVID-19. If the test is positive, the person is denied access to campus until appropriate quarantine/isolation time has elapsed.

In addition to the required testing of individuals who report symptoms or potential exposures through the daily symptom check, the college has also implemented weekly COVID-19 testing of all students and employees on campus for Fall 2021.

Labouré College of Healthcare has an agreement with the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, an FDA CLIA-certified laboratory, to test symptomatic individuals.
