Dear LGS Students,
Earlier this week, you received the University’s Spring 2021 updates. You can find that message below. We write to emphasize additional details that are particularly relevant to LGS Students:
- Spring Onboarding
- Please remember to complete the eight-step Student Onboarding Process.
- Everyone accessing campus (for any amount of time) is required to complete an onboarding clearance process before returning to campus – including individuals who completed the fall onboarding process and plan to be on campus this spring.
- Spring 2021 Required Weekly COVID-19 Testing
- All students conducting on campus classes, labs, and/or research are required to take a screening test weekly beginning January 25.
- Students who are symptomatic and/or exposed to COVID-19 should NOT visit the screening locations to be tested.
- Symptomatic students and students who have been exposed to COVID-19 should visit the Atlanta campus Student Health portal and message the COVID assessment provider to schedule a diagnostic test.
- A full summary of all student testing and screening options and when to use each—including timing, locations, and instructions for scheduling a test—is available on the Emory Forward, COVID-19 Testing site.
- Emory Student Telehealth
- Emory Student Telehealth has been expanded through a partnership with TimelyMD. Now whether in or outside of the US, students have access to medical and mental support through the expansion of telehealth services 24/7 or anytime.
- TalkNow, a service of Emory Student Telehealth, connects students to mental health professionals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Frequently Asked Questions and Contacts
- The list below includes contacts for COVID-19-related, frequently asked questions.
As always, LGS is here. Please contact us should you need assistance.
