Ohio University provides quarantine/isolation housing for students living on campus who are paying room and board fees. There are four COVID-related scenarios that could result in a student needing Q/I housing:

1. Isolation housing for COVID-19 positive individuals
2. Isolation housing for symptomatic individuals awaiting test results
3. Quarantine housing for students who are have been in close contact with a confirmed positive case
4. Quarantine housing for students traveling to campus from high-risk places

Students who are awaiting COVID-19 results and are also experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 will be assigned to symptomatic isolation housing. If the student's test result is positive, they will be moved to isolation housing for at least 10 days.

Please note that university-provided quarantine and isolation housing is only available to students living on-campus and paying room and board fees.
