It was confirmed on Sunday but the school says the risk is considered low as proper COVID-19 precautions were followed while the individual was on campus.

It’s unclear who tested positive, whether it be a student, instructor or a staff member.

The university has created a page on its website that shares confirmed positive COVID-19 cases where the individual was on campus within the last 14 days.

The latest health and medical news emailed to you every Sunday.

Whenever a case is identified on campus, the university said it works closely with public health officials to support contact tracing and address any other needed action.

An outbreak has not been declared at the university.
