What are the guidelines for someone who lives in Family Housing and University Apartments?

If you live in Family Housing and University Apartments (FHUA), here are some important things to note as it relates to COVID-19:

  • FHUA are considered individual family units and residents should take steps to isolate those who are ill from those who are well within the unit.
  • University Housing is disinfecting common areas such as laundry rooms and playground structures with EPA-certified disinfectants. 
  • Please be sure to disinfect your own units, stay home if you are ill, and wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds.
