Campus Visitor and Event/Spectator Policy
Regis College warmly welcomes visitors to campus, including students’ families, prospective students, external partners, contractors, etc.
- Visitors should not come to campus if they are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or have recently tested positive for COVID-19. Please consult guidance from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for isolation and quarantine information.
- We strongly encourage all campus visitors to have obtained the primary COVID-19 vaccination and booster.
COVID-19 Testing Protocol
Both antigen and molecular testing are available for symptomatic individuals and the testing type will be determined by the Center for Health and Wellness clinical team.
It is important to get tested if you are experiencing any new symptoms or are five to seven days after a known exposure. Even if the symptoms are mild and you believe it may just be allergies or a cold, you should take a test to rule out COVID-19.

Using Rapid At-Home Tests
Health Services recommends keeping a supply of rapid at-home COVID-19 tests on hand so that you may self-administer a test should you develop any new symptoms or have a known exposure.
-
Reporting a Positive Test Result
- All positive COVID-19 test results should be uploaded to the CoVerified app.
- Your upload may be either a lab report or photograph of your rapid home test and must include your name, date of birth, date of test and test result.
- A clinician from the Center for Health and Wellness will reach out promptly to discuss your timeline for return to campus and discuss how you can do your own contact tracing.
Reporting Symptoms
Students, faculty, and staff who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should report all symptoms into the CoVerified app. The Center for Health and Wellness staff will reach out to discuss symptoms and a plan of care, which may include testing for COVID-19.
