Student COVID-19 resources
On this page, you will find student resources and support as we continue to live and learn with COVID-19.
Campus-wide information—including university policies on testing, vaccination, and more—are available on the campus COVID-19 website.
Guides
Full COVID-19 protocols can be found on the campus COVID-19 website.
- Vaccination: All students, faculty and staff are required to be fully vaccinated with a university-accepted COVID-19 vaccine. Students should submit their Vaccination Record Card in the MyMcKinley Portal.
- Testing: Faculty, staff and students who are not fully vaccinated with a university-verified vaccination record in the MyMcKinley Portal are required to test once per week. Those that are fully vaccinated are encouraged to choose alternative testing options to help maximize efficiency of on-campus testing for the beginning of the semester. The university will have a supply of take-home antigen tests available on campus for those who want a test.
- Illness: Students need to take responsibility for checking their symptoms every day. Students who feel ill must not come to class. In addition, students who test positive for COVID-19 or have had an exposure that requires testing and/or quarantine must not attend class.
The University has plans and processes in place to help maximize safety and minimize the spread of COVID-19. View the campus COVID-19 website for details.
