H1N1 Flu Information

Columbia College Chicago has prepared this site to convey information to students, faculty, staff, parents, and others about our plans and preparations for dealing with influenza, including the novel influenza A, or H1N1 (swine flu) virus.

Updates

This site will be updated with new information in the column to the left as necessary. At this time, Columbia College is operating as usual. Links to additional resources may be found at the bottom of this page.

Columbia College Chicago is following guidelines and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Cook County Health Department to prevent the spread of flu, monitor flu conditions, and make decisions about the best steps to take concerning our institution.

Prevention

Here are a few steps you can take to help prevent the spread of flu:
• Get a seasonal flu shot, and an H1N1 vaccine when available.
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth as this spreads germs.

What to Do if You Think You Have the Flu

• If you experience flu-like symptoms, call your primary healthcare provider; students should call Student Health Services at 312.369.6830.
• Limit contact with others if you are sick and stay home from school or work.
• The CDC recommends that those who are at high risk for flu complications who become ill with flu-like symptoms speak with their healthcare providers as soon as possible to discuss the possibility of treatment with antiviral medications.


Additional Steps

• Students living at home should remain at home, following the CDC guidelines for recovery.
• For students living in residence halls, we anticipate using the following protocols:

• Students living in the Midwest will be encouraged to return home to continue their recovery. Whenever possible, students returning home to recover should travel by private vehicle rather than public transportation.
• Students and family members living outside a driving distance from the college should make arrangements with someone who is in commutable distance in anticipation of the need for assistance in picking up students should they become ill.
• In the event that students are not able to make arrangements, the college will work to isolate those students during their recovery period. Residence Life may ask students to vacate their current spaces in order to isolate those who are ill.
