What to do when you or a close contact test positive

Thank you for helping us keep campus as healthy and safe as possible!

We encourage everyone to wear face coverings and to test upon arrival, and then re-test and isolate as needed. Here's more information for students, campers, and visitors:

- If you are attending a conference or residential camp, contact Residential & Dining Enterprises, Stanford Conferences.
- If you are a varsity athlete please contact Stanford Athletic training at 650.498.0261, or your team athletic trainer.
- If you are a high school or graduate summer session visiting student, review Summer Session Guidance on Testing Positive.
- All other students, the COVID guidance found below applies to you.

Immediately following a positive COVID-19 test result all students should inform the university through next steps shared here.

Guidance for undergraduates who test positive for COVID-19

If you haven’t already, immediately following a positive COVID-19 test result from a rapid-antigen test or other non-Color system, all students should complete Health Check, send a copy of their positive COVID test results (attached to a message with the subject line "secure: test results") to the "Covid Medical Care Team" through vadenpatient.stanford.edu, and submit an Isolation SNOW Ticket. Varsity athletes should contact the Sports Medicine team instead of Vaden.
