WHAT TO BRING

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

To minimize the spread of COVID-19 some modifications to student housing policies will be necessary. Changes will be communicate to residents via Ranger Mail. 

ISOLATION SPACES

If needed, quarantine and isolation spaces have been set aside for 14-day isolation of residents if a student tests positive for COVID-19.

All residence hall students will be expected to abide by residence hall community standards which have been designed to support a healthy living environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

COMMUNITY STANDARDS 
Masks | Students will be expected to wear masks in the residence halls except for in the privacy of their residence hall rooms and when showering and brushing teeth.

Masks are not required in your assigned housing space.

Social Distancing | Students are encouraged to physically distance in common residence hall areas. 

Guests | Students are permitted to have guests. They are responsible for making sure their guests abide by the current policy.

Physical Hygiene | Students will be expected to maintain a basic level of cleanliness in their residence hall rooms. Proper and frequent handwashing is expected. Sanitizing stations are available at various entry and exit locations. 

Students who fail to cooperate with the community standards identified by Housing and Residence Life may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of their residence hall contract and/or suspension from the university. Every reasonable effort will be made to gain voluntary cooperation from a student before engaging in the formal disciplinary process.

Students are highly encouraged to self-monitor daily for COVID-19 symptoms utilizing the screening tool via Wisconsin Health Connect. Any student who develops symptoms should contact Student Health Services during normal business hours or the local health care system on evenings and weekends.

Students are highly encouraged to get the flu shot before returning to campus. 

QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION SPACES
Isolation and quarantine are two different ways residents may remove themselves from public shared spaces and we will use these terms differently depending on a student’s situation. We have created spaces for both “self-isolation” and “self-quarantine” in our residence halls.

QUARANTINE AND ISOLATION DETAILS

Any student living on campus who tests positive for COVID-19, will be required to move to a self-isolation room on campus until they have been cleared medically to return to their permanent housing assignment.

Any roommate of a student who tests positive for COVID-19 will be required to move to a self-quarantine room on campus and monitor for symptoms for 14 days. 

Meal delivery from Dining Services will be available for on-campus residents who are in self-isolation or self-quarantine.

TESTING | CONTACT TRACING
Residents who have not uploaded their vaccination records to MyChart (link), including COVID 19, will be required to test for COVID weekly on campus. Students who are symptomatic will be evaluated by the medical providers in the Student Health and Counseling Center and tested as deemed appropriate. Residents who test positive are expected to cooperate with local county health department representatives who will conduct in-depth interviews to identify with whom the infected individual has had close contact recently. A resident who tests positive will be required to isolate for up to 10 days or until cleared by a health care provider. A resident who is identified as a close contact will be required to quarantine for up to 10 days.

The Housing and Residence Life Office located on the parking lot level of Ranger Hall will be open during the following times:

MON-FRI |  8 AM-6 PM


Community Kitchen | Open and Available

Drinking Fountains | Available with bottle service

 

Students are expected to clean and disinfect their rooms on a regular basis.

Ranger Hall bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected daily. Pike River Suites and University Apartments bathrooms are cleaned and disinfected biweekly. Disinfectant will be supplied in each University Apartments and Pike River Suites bathroom for students to use as they see fit. Common areas are cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis.

Students are encouraged to bring additional cleaning supplies to keep their personal spaces clean and may want to consider bringing their own disinfecting wipes to clean fixtures prior to and after use.

All of our residence halls will continue to be fully staffed with the following team members:

Hall Directors (HDs)  | They are live-in professionals who supervise the student staff within their building. They are here to assist in your transition to college providing academic, social, wellness, and personal development support.

Resident Advisors (RAs) | They are upper-class students who live on the residence hall floors. They are your go-to-person for all concerns on your floor. Whether you want to get more involved, are in the middle of a roommate conflict, or are simply wanting a person to connect to, your RA is ready to assist you.

Although our planning for activities and programs may differ, we are still committed to providing many exciting ways to connect students to their hall community, and to UW-Parkside as a whole. Living on campus still provides many benefits to residents including proximity to the academic buildings and dining services, access to campus information and resources, and connections to peers, diverse environments, and opportunities to meet a variety of individuals.
