COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions

Students who choose not to be vaccinated will be permitted to study in person on the Weston campus but may be prevented from participating in any required off-site clinical placements.

While Regis no longer requires COVID-19 vaccination, it may still be mandated at many off-site clinical and preceptorship sites. Students must comply with the COVID-19 vaccination requirement(s) impose by your internship, clinical, fieldwork placement, or external site. Failure to comply with these requirements may prevent students from making academic progression.

Please contact your health care provider with specific questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. You can also consult the frequently asked questions from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health or guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

All students, faculty, and staff who live, learn and work on campus or attend in-person Regis events are required to monitor their symptoms.

If you are experiencing COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 you should not attend class, clinicals, labs, or campus events.

COVID-19 tests are available through the Center for Health and Wellness. This requires a visit with a clinician and will be billed to your insurance. Patients need to be aware of their health insurance coverage, including the Regis student health insurance plan, and what restrictions may apply.

The Regis campus is a mask optional environment, except at all times in the Regis College Dental Center and in the Center for Health and Wellness when seeing a provider for a sick visit or if required to wear a mask per Massachusetts Department of Public Health COVID-19 isolation or exposure guidelines.

• Regis strongly supports community members who choose to wear a mask.
• Please continue to follow public health guidance and wear a mask if you are at a higher risk or have concerns about your health.

Residential students can choose to complete their isolation at home or in their on-campus room. Students should discuss with their roommate(s) about completing their isolation on campus.

• Residential students who choose to isolate on-campus must remain in their room.
• Students who are in isolation may pick up “grab and go” meals from the Main Dining Hall while wearing a mask and should return to their private residence to eat.
• Wellness Housing is available only to residential students who have tested positive for COVID-19 and are required to isolate but cannot do so in their assigned room, and have a home address of more than 300 miles from Regis.

If you are experiencing COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 you should not attend class, clinicals, labs, or campus events.

Faculty will work with students to ensure they have every opportunity to make academic progress. Please work directly with your instructor to notify them of your absence and to determine how you can make up missed assignments and/or simulation lab time.

Students missing a clinical day should follow programmatic procedures and reach out to their faculty member or clinical coordinator with questions.

Regis warmly welcomes visitors to campus, including students’ families, prospective students and their families, external partners, contractors, etc.

• Visitors should not come to campus if they are ill or 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 to learn more about COVID-19 symptoms, testing, isolation, and exposure guidelines.
• We strongly encourage all campus visitors to be vaccinated for COVID-19.

Residential students are welcome to host Regis and non-Regis guests in the residential spaces in accordance with the Campus Visitor and Event/Spectator policy. Students should also refer to the Student Handbook for the complete Residential Guest Policy.

Questions and concerns may be directed to the Center for Health and Wellness, who will triage your request to the appropriate department.
