Office of the Provost

Dear Colleagues,

We are bringing to your attention a decision to quarantine five residence halls at Storrs because of an increase in positive COVID-19 test results among our students. Their quarantine will begin tomorrow, so as you have done throughout this semester, we ask that you be flexible in accommodating students who are unable to come to campus and make sure they are still able to access course materials and continue their progress in your courses. While this is the largest number of dorms to quarantine at once, at 500 students this is not the largest number of students we have had in quarantine at one time.

We are monitoring results through this week and will provide updates if further mitigation measures are necessary to control spread of positive results.

Thank you for your ongoing flexibility and care for our students. Please click this link to read the message sent to students.

Sincerely,
Carl
