Hey RedHawks! This is Greg Blandford, a current IU Northwest student.

00:05

Even though i'm feeling great - no COVID-19 symptoms here -

00:09

I received an email from IU Northwest to take a COVID-19 mitigation test.

00:14

So let's go!

00:17

So what is mitigation testing here at IU Northwest?

00:19

It's a quick and painless process that

00:22

everyone will be involved in throughout the semester, including you.

00:25

It's to help us keep ahead of the COVID-19 spread and to stay #IUNstrong.

00:32

Mitigation testing will take place over the semester.

00:35

Please check your IU email often as you may receive one or two requests over the semester.

00:40

When signing up for your appointment time,

00:43

be sure to use your only your IU email address.

00:47

An important tip RedHawks: this is a saliva test so no eating,

00:51

drinking, chewing gum, smoking or vaping 30 minutes prior to arrival.

00:55

And if you do, no worries! Just reschedule.

00:58

This is the moraine student center where the testing will take place.

01:03

Once you arrived and completed the

01:04

checklist, IU wants to make sure you're COVID-19 symptom free. Then -

01:09

--You can enter this barcode into the app on your phone and then you can take

01:12

a seat and once we're ready we'll call you up!

01:15

--Thank you!

01:24

Okay we'll have you come to number four here and we do have step-by-step instructions

01:28

on the table that let you know the whole process,

01:31

and all we ask is that you turn that 'clean' tab over to 'dirty' when you're done.

01:34

--Thank you so much! --No problem.

01:38

Hey RedHawks. I know this is the part where you have a lot of questions.

01:42

So after you open your kit make sure that the kit ID matches with your test tube ID.

01:47

Then you're going to lower your mask and spit into the tube.

01:53

You're going to remove the funnel, then, and with the provided cap -

01:57

that cap includes a liquid preservative which will release into the tube -

02:01

seal it and shake vigorously for five seconds.

02:04

Then you're going to take the alcohol wipe that is provided

02:08

and wipe the outside of the tube.

02:10

Take the entire kit with you when you're going to leave.

02:13

And that's it! It's quick and painless and this simple

02:17

act will help keep our campus safe. You'll receive your test results in two

02:21

to five business days. If you're negative, you'll receive an email.

02:24

If you're positive, you'll receive a phone call for

02:28

isolation and next steps from IU Health. Together we'll get through this!

02:33

Thank you for doing your part. For questions visit

Hey RedHawks!

00:07

It’s me…Mia, a fellow IU Northwest student, here with some helpful information on:

00:12

What to do if you begin to feel sick?

00:15

While I personally hope that doesn’t happen, here’s what you need to know:

00:20

First: Log into ONE.iu.edu and search COVID.

00:26

Select: IU Health Virtual Screening Clinic.

00:30

Or just can download the app directly. Just search IU Health Virtual Visits.

00:36

Once you’ve logged-in, complete the information,

00:38

including the symptom checker, and have a brief virtual consultation

00:42

with an IU Health nurse.

00:47

If it appears your symptoms are COVID-19 related, you will be referred to the IU Northwest Testing

00:53

Center, located on our campus.

00:56

Contact the IU Northwest Testing Center at 219-980-7250 to receive instruction about

01:05

where and when you’ll be tested for COVID-19.

01:09

When you have arrived at the testing center, park in the assigned parking space and call

01:13

219-980-7250 to indicate you’re onsite.

01:19

Then wait in your car.

01:20

The nurse will come to you.

01:21

The IU Health nurse will meet you at your car and administer the test.

01:26

Return home and quarantine until you’ve received your results.

01:31

Test results take two to three days.

01:33

If your test is negative, you’ll be notified via the IU Health Virtual Visits app.

01:39

If your test is positive, an IU Health nurse will give you a call and provide you with

01:43

isolation information.

01:45

Be sure to answer your phone and return any voicemails!

01:49

And, if you’ve not heard about your results in five days, please check the IU Health Virtual

01:54

Visits app for updates, and/or to speak with an IU Health nurse.

01:59

Lastly, if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19,

02:05

please quarantine for 14 days since your last exposure to the individual.

02:09

We get it – feeling sick is a bummer.

02:11

But, it’s critical that you follow these steps.

02:14

We care about you and want you to make sure you –

02:17

and the entire campus community – stays healthy.

02:20

Please, do your part to keep us IUN strong.

Hey RedHawks! We’re glad you’re here.

00:04

To help you out, we wanted to share a few tips

00:07

you’ll need to keep in mind each time you come

00:09

to IU Northwest.

00:11

But, first, remember…we’re all in this together.

00:14

So, let’s be kind, and make the most of this year!

00:18

Check Canvas daily for important campus

00:21

announcements and scheduling updates.

00:23

Find Canvas at ONE.IU.EDU, or on the IU Mobile App.

00:30

Once at IU Northwest, make sure to mask up!

00:34

Masks must be worn on campus always, even outside,

00:38

when physical distancing can’t be maintained.

00:41

And hand sanitizing stations are all over campus – please use them!

00:46

For each class, you’ll be assigned a seat for the semester.

00:50

Sit only on a seat that has a red dot and the number you have been assigned.

00:55

And please don't move classroom chairs, desks or lecterns,

00:59

so we can maintain physical distancing.

01:02

But…before you take a seat, wipe down your assigned area.

01:08

As you walk around campus, you’ll see signs with guidance on traffic flow,

01:12

forming lines, and more. Please be sure

01:15

to follow all instructions … in order to keep us all safe.

01:19

And if you’re not feeling well, please stay home.

01:22

Do your part to keep our campus healthy.

01:25

Together, we will remain IUN Strong.

Please be sure to check Canvas daily for important announcements and updates. Canvas is IU’s learning management system and it’s the primary way professors communicate with students, so check it for class news, scheduling updates, and more. You can access Canvas from One.IU.edu on the Internet or straight from your phone with the IU Mobile app.

Description of the video:

The hybrid mode of instruction for fall 2020 means that you may not need to be present for every session of courses that have an in-person component. This is to ensure that physical distancing is possible in all classes. Please be sure to check Canvas daily for course updates and information on which days you should attend class in person. You can access Canvas from One.IU.edu on the Internet or straight from your phone with the IU Mobile app.

Description of the video:

Please protect yourself and those around you by wearing a mask. IU will send you two masks, and will have more available on campus, if needed. When you put on your face mask, you are choosing to be kind, caring, and empathetic. Keep up the good work!

Description of the video:

We are in this together, so show your commitment to keeping us all healthy! Everyone has to “sign” the Student Commitment Form, which outlines responsibilities, guidelines, and best practices for maintaining a welcoming environment on-campus during the pandemic. You must sign the form in order to access Canvas and other important web-based IU Northwest apps, which are critical to your academic success, so make sure to sign your form today! If you have any questions about the form, contact the Dean of Students Beth Tyler.

Description of the video:

Even though we’ll be “physically distancing,” you can still hang out on campus if you need to between classes. There will be specially designated space on campus where you can study, hang with your friends, or just chill. Look for signs posted outside these hang-out spaces. Remember though, you’ll still need to wear a mask and stay 6-feet apart.

Description of the video:

If you’re feeling sick, please do not return to campus. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or believe you’ve been infected, please report your symptoms through the IU Health Virtual Screening Clinic. Just search for COVID Health Services on One.iu.edu or the IU Mobile app. And finally, have a plan for what you’ll do should you need to quarantine or isolate this semester.
