COVID-19 Friday Fact: The Importance of Self-Reporting

Did you know VCSU has developed an internal self-reporting form?
VCSU COVID-19 Reporting Form (content no longer available)

The purpose of this form is to inform VCSU that a student or employee has a COVID-19 related situation.
*Employees must notify their supervisors and complete this reporting form.

You should self- report if you have:

  • tested positive for COVID-19
  • been notified by a state health department official that they have been identified as a close contact to someone that has tested positive for COVID-19
  • symptoms consistent with COVID-19 (individuals can check their symptoms through the ND Department of Health COVID-19 Risk Assessment Survey Tool)
  • been identified as a household close contact to a COVID-19 case
  • a sick family member at home who undergoing testing for COVID-19
  • to care for an individual subject to or advised to quarantine or isolate and are unable to perform their work
  • to care for a son or daughter whose school or childcare is closed or unavailable due to COVID-19 and are unable to perform their work

WHY should I self-report?

In an effort to proactively take measures to keep our campus community as safe as possible as a result of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, we are asking for your help to ensure the good health and safety of all students and employees. This information will also allow VCSU to better assist employees with the new Family First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) employee benefits. Please know that working remotely and practicing social distancing is not considered a quarantine or isolation.
* VCSU will take necessary precautions to protect health information, pursuant to all applicable laws and statutes, including, but not limited to, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).
