Quarantine
Rogers State University no longer requires screenings based upon exposure and does not issue guidance on quarantine due to exposure. Consistent with past practices, if a student or employee receives quarantine guidance from their healthcare provider RSU will honor the CDC guidance for quarantine due to exposure.
Isolation
Students and employees who test positive for COVID-19 should immediately isolate and seek the advice of their primary care physician for guidance on health management. Students and employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 should file a report by completing the form on the “COVID-19” tab on MyRSU (login required).
Students living in on-campus housing who have experienced a known exposure, are symptomatic or have tested positive for COVID-19 should complete the form on the “COVID-19” tab on MyRSU (login required) and immediately notify their Resident Assistant (RA). Students will have the option of completing their quarantine and/or isolation either off-campus or by moving into a single on-campus housing unit.
Return to Class or Work
Upon reporting a positive case, individuals will receive instruction on returning to class or work. Individuals will be cleared to return to campus following five days of isolation and must wear a mask for the first five days upon returning to campus when indoors or around others.
Students and employees who have tested positive for COVID-19 should file a report by completing the form on the “COVID-19” tab on MyRSU (login required).

COVID-19 UPDATE: Masking Expectation Suspended – March 25, 2022
Effective immediately Rogers State University suspends its current masking expectation. The expectation was put into place at all campuses on January 18 to combat the then rising number of reported cases. Although the mask expectation will no longer be in effect, members of the RSU community may continue to voluntarily wear masks. Should conditions warrant, a mask expectation may be reinstated in the future.
At all times, the university strongly encourages the entire RSU community to take personal responsibility by:
- Becoming fully vaccinated.
- Practicing good hygiene and washing hands regularly.
- Monitoring personal health and taking temperature daily.
- Respecting the personal space of others.
- Remaining at home when sick or experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
- Avoiding large gatherings
