Help keep the campus healthy—get vaccinated!
Symptoms of flu include sudden onset of fever or chills and cough or sore throat. In addition, symptoms of flu can include body aches, headache, diarrhea, or vomiting.
Call Health Services to make an appointment to be seen. If you are too sick to leave your room, contact your RA or Public Safety for assistance. Hydration packs are available from Health Services (860.768.6601).
Arrangements can be made for food delivery using Dining Service's "Get Well Buddy" form. (see link)
Visit a healthcare provider to verify whether you have the flu or a cold. If flu is confirmed, contact your department head and/or direct supervisor. Faculty members, if possible, please notify your students through Blackboard or email on how class assignments will proceed.
Please, stay home or go home if you can. If you cannot get home, please self-isloate in your dorm room until you are fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication.
If you are diagnosed off campus, please notify us so we may help you with notification of your classes.
If a severe flu outbreak hits our community, we will take additional steps to avoid spreading the flu virus on campus.
If you have any questions about policies or would like to suggest action steps we can take, please email us at flu@hartford.edu. By working together, we can protect our community and have a productive fall and winter.
