MTSU Response to Coronavirus Disease

Moderna Spikevax is available to current students and employees by appointment.  Call 615-898-2988 to schedule your appointment.

Please plan on about 45 minutes for your appointment to allow for insurance benefits to be processed, a brief health screening with a nurse, and individual preparation of the vaccine.

If not covered by insurance, current cost is $150.00.

Yes. Students may visit MTSU Student Health Services for free in-house COVID antigen and, if necessary, in-house PCR testing for students who are symptomatic. Results are typically available same day. For asymptomatic contacts, who desire COVID testing, the Everlywell PCR take home test (while supplies last) is available free of charge.

We are pleased to be able to provide immunizations for all members of the MTSU community, including faculty and staff.  However, faculty and staff are reminded that MTSU Student Health Services is funded by student fees and has a primary obligation to serve our students. Faculty and staff should see their primary care physician, local urgent care, or pharmacies for testing and guidance on isolation and quarantine.

Most at-home COVID-19 tests are free with the Employee Health Insurance.  Please consult your plan for specific details.

Students, faculty, and staff MUST NOT come to campus if they are in isolation due to COVID-19, are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or are awaiting test results for symptoms.

Anyone experiencing COVID-19 symptoms should seek testing.

MTSU continues to follow guidelines from the CDC and Tennessee Department of Health regarding COVID-19 isolation.

If you are living on campus, please visit the COVID-19 Housing Protocols website for specific information. MTSU Housing will not be able to assist students in packing and moving to their off-campus temporary isolation spaces.

Students who must miss class because of COVID-19 isolation requirements should contact their instructors directly to make arrangements to keep up with coursework while unable to attend. 

• Faculty and staff who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 may reach out to supervisors to discuss the possibility for remote teaching and/or work, if mutually agreeable between the University and the employee. Not all job assignments are able to be performed from home, and therefore, employees should be prepared to use sick leave as necessary.

• The ADA reasonable accommodation process is still available for those with medical conditions or disabilities (contact the ADA Compliance Office for further information). This process is conducted on a case-by-case basis, taking both a person’s medical concerns and job duties into account. Employees should not assume that remote work will necessarily be deemed a reasonable accommodation.

• While the University has an existing policy for alternate work arrangements for non-faculty employees, such arrangements are not a right or a benefit, and requests must include a business justification.

• Contact MTSU Student Health Services at 615-898-2988 or online at www.mtsu.edu/healthservices.  MTSU Student Health Services is free for enrolled students. 

• Students MUST NOT come to campus if they are in isolation due to COVID-19, are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or are awaiting test results for symptoms.
