Student Health on Campus
Student Health on Campus
ALL students are required to complete a safety screening questionnaire prior to coming to campus. Access and download the P3 app at go.fiu.edu/fiup3.
If you believe you may have been exposed to COVID-19, or are having symptoms, please call 305-348-8385 to schedule a telehealth visit.
While FIU does not require students nor employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine, we highly recommend it for your own benefit. Evidence shows that vaccinated individuals can still get COVID-19, but their symptoms are usually milder. If you are unvaccinated, you are assuming a significant risk to your health. We urge students and faculty to become fully vaccinated in their home country prior to departing to the U.S.
Following the guidance of Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Governors, classes are back on campus with no remote option and no physical distancing in the classrooms. There are no plans to modify the operations of the university to accommodate individuals who choose not to get vaccinated.
How to Get the Vaccine
How to Get the Vaccine
Vaccines are free and widely available in our community and at the following locations on campus to members of the university community and qualifying family members..
MMC (Pfizer Vaccine)
Graham Center Piano Lounge
Vaccine Van outside Panther Hall from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days a week (Available through October 4)
BBC (Pfizer Vaccine)
Vaccine Van in Lot 1 near Student Health from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days a week (Available through October 4)
Register for an on campus appointment using your FIU credentials. You must bring a photo ID or birth certificate to your appointment. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Please note that the Pfizer vaccine requires a second shot three weeks after the first shot. For questions, please call 305-348-2401.
Partially Vaccinated Students
Partially Vaccinated Students
If you have received only the first dose of a two-shot vaccine in your home country, FIU may provide you with the second shot if your first dose was for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine (see above for details on where to get your second shot).
FIU is not able to provide any other manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines and cannot offer to mix your vaccination with a different type. For example, if you received an AstraZeneca vaccine abroad, FIU will not provide a second shot from another maker. For students who received the first dose by any other maker than Pfizer or Moderna, FIU will offer a complete two-shot vaccination 6 months after the original shot was given to you in your home country.
Students Working in Healthcare Facilities
Students Working in Healthcare Facilities
For the protection of patients and healthcare workers, students who will be working in clinical settings with one of our many Healthcare partners will be required to be fully vaccinated per mandates issued by these facilities and must either produce a formal vaccination record or be vaccinated once in South Florida.

COVID-19 Testing
FIU has partnered with Curative to expand COVID-19 testing by opening an on-campus walk-up testing station for students, faculty and staff.

The testing station is located in front of Parkview Hall at MMC. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
