H1N1 Information

If You Become Ill

If you have symptoms of H1N1 (fever, cough, sore throat, stuffy nose, and in some cases diarrhea and vomiting):

  • Please return home if possible. If it is not possible, please "self-isolate," meaning stay in your residence hall room until you are fever-free without medicine for at least 24 hours. Students who are ill should not come to class, work, or other activities. If you stay in your campus room, please clean all door handles and common surfaces to the extent possible.
  • Fill out the Self-Report Form. Do not go to Health Services in person to report symptoms.
  • Contact your instructors and/or supervisor to let them know you’re ill.
  • If you need meals, have a roommate or friend go to the Sodexo office (near the Monson Dining Center) with your ID card or ID number. They will be given a takeout box in which to get food for you. If you are unable to find someone to do this for you, contact your RA.
