Covid Information

Faculty and students will receive emails for mitigation testing in their iu.edu email account. These emails for mitigation testing come from "IU Forms" on Friday for the next week. Faculty and students are encouraged to answer those emails promptly and either apply for an exemption or schedule mitigation testing. Please remember that IU Policy allows for significant sanctions to academic appointees (full-time and part-time) and students for failure to comply with these directives.  The full policy is here: https://policies.iu.edu/policies/ua-21-sanctions-non-compliance-covid19/index.html Links to an external site.

If faculty or students experience Covid symptoms, report a positive Covid test, or are called to mitigation testing, and are unsure how to proceed, please refer to these flow charts created by the IU Restart Committee: https://www.iun.edu/campus-updates/covid-processes/index.htm Links to an external site.

For Illness/Testing: If a student in class reports a Covid infection should ALL STUDENTS and INSTRUCTOR from that class all switch to ZOOM only instruction immediately? Any member of the community who is experiencing symptoms that may be COVID-19 related OR may have been in close contact with any individual who is COVID-19 positive is REQUIRED by the Community Responsibility Acknowledgement to report this to IU. This information will be confidential and only shared within IU Health. These individuals should avoid coming to campus until they are tested. Those who are experiencing symptoms will be tested via IU Health. As soon as IU becomes aware that any member of the community has received a positive test (either via IU Health, self-reporting, or via information received from the local health officials), IU will initiate contact tracing. This will involve contacting the infected person daily, and contacting all members of the IU community who have come into "close contact" with the student. Close contact is defined by IU as closer than 6 feet and/or unmasked contact. If the community member is a student, all of their faculty will be contacted for purposes of accessing attendance records. Contact tracing will not affect everyone who is in the same class as the infected student; only those who had close contact as defined by IU. Both the infected person and those who came into close contact will be asked to quarantine. All classrooms will be sanitized nightly.  An important note: Faculty may not share health information about themselves or students. Students would only learn that a classmate has tested positive if that student chose to share that information or if they were contacted as part of contact tracing.
