Covid-19 Information
The Pio Plan

Carroll University is committed to offering an exceptional educational experience in a safe environment. Faculty, staff and administration have been working diligently all semester to support students and keep our Carroll community safe. Campus may look a little different, with some hybrid classes, physical distancing and other safety measures in place—all subject to the latest guidelines. The COVID-19 pandemic requires flexibility, ingenuity and perseverance from all of us. Thank goodness we're Pioneers!

Please see information below on how COVID-19 is impacting the Carroll community, including hours for in-person services, availability of facilities, emergency funds for students and more. We’ll continue to add regular updates in regard to the upcoming semester. Please bookmark this page and check your campus email frequently for more information. We can't wait to see you back on campus this spring!

The dashboard displays the number of confirmed cases reported to Carroll University. These cases were reported through the university's faculty, staff and student disclosure process or a local public health department.

An active case is an individual in isolation after a positive test result. Cumulative cases are the total positive cases since the first day of classes. After the isolation period ends, they are removed from the active cases in future dashboards, but they are still reflected in the cumulative cases.

Dashboard Updates

The dashboard is published twice a week (excluding university holidays):

• Tuesday updates use data reported as of 2 p.m. on Mondays
• Friday updates use data reported as of 2 p.m. on Thursdays 

Confirmed data reported to the university available after 2 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays are included in the next dashboard update.

During the difficult and uncertain public health threat posed by COVID-19, many of our students will experience financial hardships, particularly those most economically vulnerable. The Student Emergency Fund provides limited grants and short-term, interest-free loans to Carroll University students experiencing financial hardship due to unexpected circumstances. Students may request financial assistance for any critical costs they cannot otherwise cover (such as medical bills, utilities, transportation costs, or personal or academic supplies).

We are grateful to the donors who make this fund possible. Please consider supporting our students with a gift to the Carroll Student Emergency Fund.
