Human Resources (Faculty and Staff)
Indiana University and the Jacobs School of Music encourage all employees with job responsibilities that allow them to work from home to continue to do so. The goal is to lighten the on-campus population while continuing to provide our students with the best experience possible, whether on campus or online. https://fall2020.iu.edu/doc/iu-return-to-campus-guide.pdf

- Go home if you are on campus.
- Contact COVID-19 Health Services to have your symptoms evaluated, have a virtual visit with a health care provider, and possibly be tested.
