COVID-19 Response Information

For your own health and that of those in your community, Rasmussen University strongly recommends that everyone follow the "Your Health" COVID-19 guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This guidance includes recommendations regarding what to do if you are feeling sick and guidance regarding quarantine and isolation, links to which are found below.

Feeling Sick?

• Symptoms
• Testing for COVID-19
• What to do if you are sick

Quarantine & Isolation

• When to quarantine and isolate
• Caring for someone at home

We also remind you that we urge everyone to get vaccinated and remain up to date with boosters. The most important steps you can take to protect yourself and others are to get vaccinated, stay up to date on boosters, wash your hands, test when you have symptoms and stay home when you are feeling unwell. Regardless of the status of any government-imposed mandates for a particular campus or central office location, individuals may choose to wear a mask based on their personal health preference. We help make our communities safer when we all do our part.

As always, the University will continue to comply as required with any mandates set forth by local, state and federal government agencies that apply to our facilities or work sites. All students and employees are expected to regularly review and comply with the remaining government-imposed mandates impacting the Rasmussen location you attend, which are detailed on this document: Your Health & COVID-19 Mandated Requirements. Changes will be maintained on this hyperlinked document and communicated to the impacted students and/or employees as they occur.
