Note: All information presented in this column is sourced from the Taylor Together, Again plan. Updates are provided weekly by the Pandemic Reopening Team (PeRT). Last updated Aug. 24. 

  • All off-campus study abroad and Lighthouse missions trips have been cancelled for the January 2021 interterm 

  • To-go options are now available at both the Hodson Dining Commons and the Campus Center

  • Students and faculty are expected to report out of state travel or travel to social events such as weddings or funerals. They can do this by visiting my.taylor.edu. 

  • As of Aug. 21, one Taylor employee or student is in active required isolation, six employees or students are in active quarantine, and 1 on-campus student or employee has tested positive for COVID-19. 

    • Taylor University defines quarantine as “those who have been exposed to COVID-19 or have been in contact with someone who is confirmed positive for COVID-19, (must) stay at home under strict guidelines,” and isolation as “a person who tests positive for COVID-19 must be isolated in a hospital or at home, under strict guidelines.”

  • Of the 410 Taylor students tested for intercollegiate athletics and performing arts participation, six reported positive tests for COVID-19. They were all treated at home before coming to campus. 

Students who believe they have symptoms of COVID-19 should do the following:

  • Temporarily quarantine in your room

  • Contact your medical provider or the Taylor University Health Center.  Or, utilize the IU Health Virtual Coronavirus screening tool. (https://iuhealth.org/covid19/virtual-coronavirus-screening)

  • Contact the Residence Life COVID 19 contact number (765-997-8610).
