HEALTH AND WELLNESS
Seasonal Flu Shot
Clinic
The first clinic for students was held Wednesday and Thursday, October 6 and 7.
A second seasonal flu shot clinic, also open to faculty and staff, will be held Tuesday and Wednesday,
November 3 and 4, from 1-2 p.m. Health Services will have 60 doses available and will administer them, per official
recommendations, to the following "high priority" groups:
Health care workers with direct patient contact
Those age 65 or older
Those who live with or take care of someone under the age of 6 months
Pregnant women
Those with a chronic health condition such as heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, lung disease, diabetes, asthma,
anemia, or other blood disorder
Those with a weakened immune system from HIV or other diseases, cancer drugs, or radiation therapy
Those who live with someone who belongs in any of these categories
Any remaining seasonal flu vaccines will be available to all at the Health Fair on Friday, November 13th, from 11 a.m. to 2
p.m. in Oyate Hall. Watch for information about the H1N1 flu
vaccine later this fall.
2009 H1N1 flu
Fall marks the beginning of the academic year and this year we're calling on members of our campus community to be especially alert and aware of
potential health problems. This year will be unusual in that we may experience not only the expected seasonal influenza but also the 2009 H1N1
influenza, the first flu pandemic in 40 years.
Here you'll find information on our current expectations for impact on the University of Minnesota Morris community, the challenges this flu
outbreak may cause, and our plans for addressing them. We ask that you stay alert to these messages during the academic year. Pandemics can
change quickly and unpredictably. We will all need to be cooperative, flexible, and resilient in responding to changing conditions.
This page will be updated with UMM information regularly.

Morris "Enough is Enough" presentation
In April 2009, UMM joined with campuses across the country to speak out, engage in dialogue, and take action to
stem the tide of societal violence during "Enough is Enough Week". Enough is Enough presentations include
information on campus safety, best practices in responding to active shooter situations, and information on
building community - one of the most important steps in preventing violence. If you would like to have the
presentation included at an upcoming staff, division, or student group meeting, please call Jen Lund in Campus
Police at 589-6000 or email lundjc@morris.umn.edu.
If you have any concerns about a troubled member of our community who is need of support, please contact Campus
Police (320-589-6000), the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs (320-589-6013), or the Assistant Vice Chancellor
for Student Life (320-589-6470). These offices coordinate our response for students in need of support and lead
our
campus threat assessment team. They can be reached after business hours through Campus Police (cell phone
320-287-1601) or the local shared law enforcement dispatch (320-589-1155). In an emergency, call 9-1-1 and
Campus Police will respond.
WEATHER ALERTS/SEVERE WEATHER PROCEDURES
Travel and road condition information: www.511.mn.org.
Snow/Severe weather: If UMM should close due to severe weather, the Chancellor or another senior administrator will have a representative of
University Relations notify local media, including KMRS/KKOK, KUMM, KCCO/WCCO, KXRA, KSAX, KIKV, and the UMM Info Desk,
by 6 a.m. if possible. Anyone (faculty, students or staff) who feels unsafe traveling to campus when campus is open and classes are meeting should not come. On
such occasions, faculty should contact the appropriate division chair, students should contact their instructors, and staff should contact
their supervisers.
If you park off campus, click here for snow
removal alerts and ordinances for the city of Morris. It is recommended you not leave a car parked on city streets if you will be gone for extended
periods of time (like Winter Break).
EMERGENCIES
Here are UMM's hours of operation. Note that you may contact Campus
Police 24 hours a day.
Do you have to miss class due to a family or
health emergency? This link will take you to the "Class Excuse" policy, which covers various situations including illness and personal
emergencies. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs coordinates support for students during times of personal emergencies.
STUDENT CONDUCT

file). The Student Conduct Code applies to student conduct
that occurs on University premises or at University-sponsored activities. At the discretion of University leadership,
the code may also apply to off-campus student conduct that may adversely affect the University.
Recent revisions to the code are summarized here.
