What You Should Do before Coming to Campus
Before arriving on campus, we strongly encourage students to develop a plan with roommate(s) at the beginning of the semester in the case that someone in your room or suite tests positive for COVID since separate isolation spaces will not be available. In addition, students are encouraged to bring a COVID test kit with them when they return to campus.
All students have access to health resources, most at no cost.

- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) – confidential mental health support for all matriculated students. No insurance required. 973-655-5211
