Covid 19 Guidelines

We will abide by the Covid 19 guidelines set forth by UIUC, which include the following:

  • There are no COVID-19 vaccination/testing requirements for visitors. However, visitors from outside the campus community are encouraged to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 if they are able to do so.
  • Face coverings are strongly recommended, but not required in classrooms or any campus spaces. No additional expectations for face coverings for facilities or events. Individuals are welcome to wear face coverings to protect themselves.
  • Foreign Delegates: Since the majority will arrive 1-3 days before ISBC, they will not have enough quarantine time after international travel. With that in mind, they are encouraged to self-test negative before attending ISBC.
  • ALL attendants are encouraged to bring their own self-test kits.
