Process Overview
Class rosters in GullNet can help faculty view the clearance status of students in their classes. A student can be flagged as not-clear for different reasons (suspension, testing compliance, quarantine/isolation, etc), and those statuses are highlighted in different ways on class rosters when a not-clear indicator is set by SU departments or various processes. Currently, PCR COVID-19 test result files, or the absence of a PCR test within the required testing policy will automatically set a not-clear grade roster highlight the following colors:
Yellow - signifies a “not clear” status due to medical reasons (and there may be a need to work with students to make up work)
Blue/Grey - signifies a “not clear” status due to non-medical reasons (noncompliance with testing policies, suspension, or other)
PCR Test results are processed several times daily, and and this process will set a roster highlight above automatically.
Generally, if a student has questions about how to get cleared from a positive test or quarantine, they should contact student health services.
FAQ
- If a student tests positive, how long before they show up on the roster as yellow?
- Each day, available PCR result files are processed that will immediately set any positive result to yellow on a grade roster.
- An email is sent to the student automatically with their positive result. Additional help resources and guidance are also sent.
- How can a student get cleared from a positive roster setting?
- Campus Health (and in some cases Student Health Services) ultimately makes the decision on whether a student can be cleared in GullNet based on available information. They must manually clear a student; this process is not automated.
- Is there a lag between medical clearance and roster clearance?
- Clearing a highlight on a roster is a manual process. A member of Campus Health must clear any student if their status had previously been sent to not-clear for medical reasons. When Campus Health sets the clearance status, the highlight is removed on a roster.
- If a student is delinquent, and therefore gray, and then gets a negative test, how long before the roster designation turns from gray to clear? Is there a lag between a negative test and roster clearance?
- The roster designation turns from gray to clear as soon as a valid PCR test result is loaded into the system. This happens when the results arrive (generally 48 hrs after taking the test), so there is a lag between when a person takes a test and the actual result that sets the roster highlight is completed.
- If a student says they were tested, but the roster still shows blue/gray, what steps should be taken?
- Only SU PCR tests currently remove the blue/gray roster highlight.
- A student that takes an external (non-PCR at Salisbury University) test will not currently remove a blue/gray roster highlight.
- If a student reports they were cleared to return from quarantine, but the roster still highlights them yellow, what steps should be taken?
- The student should contact Campus Health for guidance. Campus Health ultimately makes the decision to release a student from quarantine (and they can also clear the roster highlight)
- A student reports that they could not attend because they were quarantined but there is no yellow highlight in the roster, what action is required?
- Official SU quarantine direction to students must come from Campus Health. A student that self-isolates/quarantines without reporting that activity to Campus Health will not be factored into grade roster highlights.
- A student reports they could not attend because they failed the daily screening, but there is no roster indication. What action is required?
- Students that fail the daily screening should contact Campus Health, per the instructions on the screening app.
