With Easter weekend quickly approaching, we wanted to provide you with some updates.

As a reminder, on the Winona Campus, classes are in session Thursday, April 1, and Friday, April 2, until 1 p.m. each day and all day on Monday, April 5. Students are encouraged to celebrate Easter as a Saint Mary’s community.

Easter travel information

Students who elect to travel will be required to participate in a 10-day soft quarantine upon their return and participate in mandatory COVID-19 testing upon their return. The soft quarantine means that you may attend classes, visit the cafeteria, study in the library or other designated spaces, and work out. Student-athletes may participate in practices and strength and conditioning activities as scheduled by their coaches. Students are not permitted to have guests, visit other residence halls, or participate in in-person extracurricular activities.

Students who are traveling and wish to be tested for COVID-19 prior to their departure should contact the Jay Johnson Wellness Center.

All students traveling must participate in mandatory COVID-19 testing upon their return on Friday, April 9. Those unable to participate must contact Student Affairs and submit a negative test result to the Wellness Center by April 13. COVID-19 testing information will be sent directly to students traveling.

Students who fall into the following categories are exempt from travel-related quarantine and testing, if they have documentation on file with the Jay Johnson Wellness Center:

  • Tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 90 days
  • Have been been vaccinated

We encourage you to submit your Easter travel requests by Wednesday, March 24.
