As a reminder to all faculty, staff and students, these recommendations are:

• Keep yourself well through the use of good hygiene practices.
• 
  Get yourself vaccinated with the Seasonal Influenza Vaccine.
• 
  If you have influenza symptoms, a fever of 100oF or greater, cough and sore throat, stay home!
  • Do not attend class or other social functions until you are fever free without the use of fever-reducing medications such as Tylenol or Advil for at least 24 hours.

Current Campus recommendations…

For Faculty and Staff:

• Notify your area Dean or Manager or V-P of Instruction if you become ill with influenza symptoms and when your students are absent with self-reported influenza.
• Student influenza absences should be reported to the Student Health Center whenever possible.
• Provide a method for the student to keep up with his/her class assignments so that if he/she is ill with fever for more than a few days, he/she can complete your class.

For Students:

• Contact your instructors by voice or e-mail if you become ill with influenza symptoms.
