Self Report

Please self-report H1NI like illness.

  • PLEASE NOTE: If you need to miss a final examination for health reasons (including suspected H1N1), you MUST obtain documentation from a physician while you are ill. Failure to obtain documentation may result in a mark of zero being assigned for the final examination.
  • This Self - reporting is for tracking purposes only. If you need personalized advice you can contact Health Link BC by calling 8-1-1 or visiting www.healthlinkbc.ca, 24 hours a day / 7 days a week. Students can contact the TWU Wellness Centre at 604-513-2024 or their health care provider.
  • If you have developed symptoms of H1N1 flu you should self-isolate, which means staying home and limiting contact with others including avoiding travel and not going to work or school, for at least 5 days from the onset of your illness. If at day 5 you have had fever (>37.8 C or 100 F as measured without the use of fever-reducing medication) within the last 24 hours, or continue to have a significant cough, then extend the self isolation to 7 days. This will decrease the chance of spreading the virus to other people. Treat mild symptoms as you normally would with rest and fluids.
  • It is important to notify your professors of your absence due to H1N1 like illness. A doctor’s note will not be required. While self-isolated, be sure to keep current with the academic requirements of your coursework. Contact your professors to let them know which classes you will be missing and to receive instructions on how to continue with your studies as you are able.
