The University is using a mobile app, called ResponsiBLUE, to ensure the safety of everyone entering buildings on campus. If your student is returning to campus for Winter Term, it will be important for them to have this app.
ResponsiBLUE is a mobile-friendly website that will help faculty, staff, and students keep the university healthy and reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Here’s how it works:
- Each day, all members of the campus community who enter campus buildings and facilities are required to check themselves for COVID-19 symptoms by answering a brief set of questions using ResponsiBLUE.
- The tool offers advice on where to seek care if your student is not well and also provides insights and visibility to the state of public health at U-M.
In addition, if your student is studying or working at home or remotely, they can use ResponsiBLUE. While it is not required of individuals who are remote, doing so will help make using the tool a healthy habit, and the aggregated data gathered will provide useful information about the overall health of the U-M community.
Visitors and vendors must use the guest version of ResponsiBLUE whenever they come to campus.
