Pandemic and Seasonal Flu

Students

Flu symptoms:
The flu is typically distinguished from a cold or allergies by a fever of 100° F or higher. Symptoms may also include cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body ache, headache, chills, unusual fatigue, diarrhea or vomiting.

If you experience these symptoms:

Take your temperature. A fever of 100° or higher is a distinguishing indicator for influenza.
Stay home and do not come to campus. Students diagnosed with or suspected to have influenza should remain in their homes or residences and avoid contact with others until at least 24 hours after their fever subsides. Students should not go to class during this time.
Review policies regarding limited campus services. What Students Should Know.

Returning to class and other activities:

Once students have been fever-free (without fever reducing medication) for 24 hours, they can return to their normal schedules, but are advised to limit their activity until they are at full strength. Overly strenuous activities can lead to longer recovery times.
