On Campus Isolation

Those who test positive for COVID-19 are required to isolate. Please do not come to any Adelphi location if you are sick.

For resident students, Adelphi maintains an allotment of on-campus isolation rooms for those who cannot return home to recover. As per Nassau County, resident students in isolation are not be permitted outside of their room except in the event of necessary medical care.

Students in isolation on campus may use their meal plan to purchase meals. Meal delivery will be coordinated by Dining Services, Residence Life and Housing, Health Services, and the Office of Public Safety.

Students who wish to have laundry picked up, cleaned, and delivered back to them while in isolation, may do so via HappyNest.com at their own cost. This outside vendor is not affiliated with Adelphi University.
