All students are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and up to date with any required booster shots.

You can access testing through our PennCares testing program. If you are experiencing symptoms, you should test right away. In the event of an exposure, call the contact tracing line at 215-898-0300 for guidance before testing. Any student who tests positive for COVID-19, regardless of vaccination status, will be required to isolate in place.

You can find the most up-to-date guidance on Penn's coronavirus website. If guidance changes, you will be notified by campus-wide email. If you have additional questions, you can email covidtesting@upenn.edu or call 215-898-0300.

Navigating COVID-19 With Your Roommates

Please be proactive and have honest conversations with your roommates about navigating COVID-19 before one of you is exposed or tests positive. Below are some questions to ask to get this conversation started:

Please remember, if you or someone you live with is experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, begin masking immediately. If you or someone you live with tests positive for COVID-19, please remember to mask around others for 10 full days after testing positive or being exposed. Cleaning services are not provided in campus housing rooms, you are responsible for cleaning and maintaining the cleanliness of your own room, including in the case of you or someone you live with testing positive for COVID-19. Check out the FAQs posted on the coronavirus website for guidance on best practices for isolating in place.
