Severe Illness Policy

Symptomatic Individuals

Regardless of vaccination status, students who are sick with symptoms such as respiratory and flu-like symptoms, fever, or any condition that could be deemed contagious should stay home until after 24 hours without symptoms, including fever, or as recommended by their physician.

We recommend that all students have a plan should they need to self-isolate. Residential students are welcome to email residencelife@flsouthern.edu with any questions.

College faculty and staff: See the Employee Handbook for current guidance.

Academics

As with any absence from class, all students are responsible for communicating with faculty, making arrangements to complete assignments, and keeping pace in their courses.

Campus Events

There are no specific restrictions on student gatherings or other events at this time.

Maintaining a Clean Campus

FSC's custodial staff sanitizes public spaces frequently and thoroughly. High-touch surfaces, including light switches, door push plates, door handles, handrails, elevator buttons, tables, desks, countertops, hard-surface chairs, water fountains, sinks, and toilets, are sanitized daily. Wall moldings, windowsills, and trash receptacles are cleaned as needed. Staff maintains common areas of residence halls on a regular schedule.
