COVID-19: Residence Life FAQs

Updated
What if a resident is exposed to or contracts COVID-19?

Because all campus residence halls have been restored to 100% capacity, no on-campus rooms will be available for students who need to quarantine or isolate due to COVID-19 exposure or infection.

If you contract COVID-19, or if you are unvaccinated and are exposed, you may need to find alternative housing arrangements until your isolation/quarantine period is complete. Guidelines may vary and can change based on CDC guidelines. For the most up-to-date information from Belmont regarding COVID-19 safety protocols, please click here.
