Guidelines

Effective February 6, 2023

COVID-19 Guidelines

We encourage all members of the Kettering community to follow behaviors on and off campus that protect themselves and others from serious infection while the University continues to monitor COVID-19 conditions.

Face Covering

Masks remain an effective measure for enhanced personal protection against the spread of COVID-19, especially for individuals who have a compromised immune status, who are not up-to-date on their COVID-19 vaccinations, or who have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19. 

Wearing a mask is optional in all areas on campus except the Wellness Center.

Anyone may choose to wear a mask at any time. Masks are available at the Campus Safety office.

Vaccinations & Boosters

Vaccinations and boosters are encouraged but not mandatory. The University does not provide them. You may obtain them at local area pharmacies.

Experiencing Symptoms

If you begin to experience symptoms while on campus, find a space to isolate yourself (empty room, etc.) then contact us  to help you determine the next steps: 

STUDENTS: Contact the Wellness Center immediately at (810) 762-9650

FACULTY and STAFF: Contact Human Resources immediately at (810) 762-9933.

If you begin to experience COVID-19 symptoms or have tested positive for COVID-19 while off campus:

Faculty/Staff

  • Stay home and begin isolation/quarantine until provided with further advice from your physician and direction from the University.
  •  Notify your supervisor immediately.
  •  Notify Human Resources at iputnam@zo23.com or (810) 762-9933.

Students

  • Stay home and begin isolation/quarantine until provided with further advice from your physician and direction from the University.
  • Notify the Wellness Center at (810) 762-9650.

Exposed but Asymptomatic

If you are asymptomatic but have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19.

Report your exposure to:

Employees: Email Human Resources or call (810) 762-9933. 

Students: Call the Wellness Center at (810) 762-9650.

You may continue to come to campus and do most everyday activities as long as you follow these steps:

  • Wear a well-fitted mask that covers your nose and mouth at all times when around others for 10 days following your most recent exposure. 
  • Get tested 3-7 days following exposure. If you do test positive or develop symptoms, report your results to the appropriate office.  
  • Maintain social distance when around others, particularly vulnerable individuals. 
  • Self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19. If you should have any of these symptoms in the next 10 days, stay home, isolate yourself off campus and away from others.  Contact the appropriate office for COVID-19 related reporting
