Syracuse University students must fill out a daily health screening form starting Monday to access university facilities, university officials announced Saturday.

The form will ask students if they are experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus or if they have been potentially exposed to the virus, said Medical Director Karen Nardella and Cory Wallack, executive director of health and wellness, in a campus-wide email.

Students with symptoms of COVID-19 and those who have been potentially exposed to the virus will receive further instructions upon completing the form, Nardella and Wallack said.

SU students, faculty and staff working or conducting research on campus already have to fill out a similar daily health screening before coming in for work.

Students living on campus must complete the form daily while students living off campus only need to fill out the questionnaire on days they need to access campus, Nardella and Wallack said. The screening will be available on the Barnes Center’s Patient Portal.

The Barnes Center will send students daily reminders to complete the screening, they said.
