COVID-19 testing and boosters

IU Indianapolis students can make an appointment with a provider at Campus Health if you are sick and need evaluation and testing for COVID-19 or influenza. If you are sick with a respiratory illness, stay home. You can return to normal activities when symptoms are improving overall, and you remain without a fever for 24 hours without medication.

It is recommended that you wear a mask for 5 days after resuming normal activities to help prevent spreading illnesses. See more information and resources from Protect IU.

Campus Health is now offering COVID-19 booster shots. This clinic is open to all IU Indianapolis students, faculty, and staff. Call us at 317-274-8214 to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome. Please be sure to bring your insurance card.

Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is a safer and more dependable way to build immunity to COVID-19 than getting sick with COVID-19. For more information about the COVID-19 vaccine, visit the CDC website or ask a Campus Health medical provider.

If you are an incoming student—or a parent of one—it will be important to ensure you have everything you need. Here are some tips to make your medical care a priority and ensure an easy transition to campus.

  1. Check to see if a physical exam is required prior to attending classes.
  2. Make sure you know the name and dose of any medication you take and have an adequate supply to get started.
  3. We experience every season in Indianapolis, so be able to list all your allergies.
  4. Be able to provide proof of vaccinations based on the requirements of IU Indianapolis and the school/program in which you are enrolled.
  5. Call your health insurance provider to ask about coverage and co-pays when visiting the Campus Health clinic.
  6. Know where the Campus Health clinic is located on a campus map. (Hint: Look for Lockefield Village.)
  7. If Campus Health is closed, do you know where to go? Locate other clinics for immediate or urgent care.
  8. Being able to handle fevers, sprains, or minor ailments can help you in college and in life. We recommend brushing up on your basic first aid knowledge.
