A Presidential Welcome

Hello new students!

On behalf of the Northern Iowa Student Government, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the University of Northern Iowa! We are very excited that you have chosen to be a Panther!

We firmly believe that your time here at UNI will be one of the greatest experiences of your life. We know that this is true for the both of us. You will meet some of your best friends, discover your passion for something completely unexpected, and make too many memories to count.

With that said, be sure to make

the most of your college experience. Get out of your room and get involved! Join a student organization, take part in intramural sports, join the choir and cheer on our Panther athletes! Attend a lecture, volunteer at the food bank, dance the Interlude at a basketball game and complete the Traditions Challenge! You should probably attend class every once and a while, too.

It is our hope that, like us, you will learn to call UNI your home. We will work hard to make sure that your time here is exciting, productive and safe.

The Northern Iowa Student Government, or as you will learn to know it, NISG, is the official governing body that represents all UNI students. The NISG Senate oversees funding for student organizations, approves requests to create a student organization and helps address any and all issues involving students.

Become a Traditions Keeper!

Traditions Challenge: making Living in the dorms? What your own history at UNI to bring (and not to bring) KARI BRAUMANN

KARI BRAUMANN Editorial Staff

Editorial Staff

You’ve got your purple and gold gear. You know all about TC and the Panthers. But there’s so much more to being a true Panther than school colors and mascots. That’s where the Traditions Challenge comes in.

All incoming freshmen receive the Traditions Challenge book, which has a list and descriptions of about 50 University of Northern Iowa traditions. While UNI no longer has a university-wide yearbook, students can use this book as a sort of scrapbook to keep track of the experiences they have here. “(You can) take your picture completing these traditions, put in the book and you’ve got your own personalized yearbook,” explained Spencer Walrath, student body president.

Walrath is a member of the student group Connecting Alumni to Students, or CATS, which is behind the Traditions Challenge. He is chair of the Traditions Committee and feels that learning about and following the traditions of UNI will enrich students’ college experience.

“Traditions are important because they foster a sense of community with UNI, and it really connects you to what being a true Panther is,” Walrath said.

“It makes you more invested in the true Panther experience.”

Among the traditions listed in the Traditions Challenge book are attending athletic events, using campus resources such as Rod Library, participating in Homecoming festivities, joining a student organization and living in the residence halls.

“

Traditions are important because they foster a sense of community with UNI, and it really connects you to what being a true Panther is.

Spencer Walrath

student body president

Students reading this issue at their freshman summer orientation session are participating in one of their first traditions right now – summer orientation is listed in the Traditions Challenge book as an “exciting opportunity to check out residence life, meet new friends and schedule classes for your first collegiate semester.”

In the fall, students will be able to participate in one of the richest and best-loved UNI traditions of all, Homecoming.

“I think that Homecoming is definitely a big tradition everywhere, and one of the most exciting just because there are so many different events (involved) with it,” commented Walrath.

During Homecoming week, students can participate in the Panther Pride Cry and the pep rally, take on the Traditions Challenge Amazing Race and complete several traditions in the book at once, enjoy a multicultural fair and Friday night fireworks, cheer on the Panthers at the Homecoming football game and take part in the timehonored tradition of Campaniling.

ANNA SCHRECK/Northern Iowan Archives

The Campanile comes to life during the Friday of Homecoming for one of UNI’s most time-honored traditions, Campaniling, during which students kiss under the iconic structure.

Campaniling, the tradition of kissing under the Campanile at midnight on Friday night of homecoming week, dates back to at least the 1940s. Music echoes from the Campanile as the carillon is played. Some students bring their own kissing partners; others find one there or simply go with friends to enjoy the spectacle. A number of campus tall tales surround Campaniling.

One claims that students who fail to go Campaniling before graduation may suffer the unfortunate fate of a Campanile brick falling on their heads.

At the end of the Traditions Challenge book, there are four blank spaces for students to write in traditions they want to add to their books.

“Really, it’s the ‘make-your-own’ traditions that make the Traditions Challenge special,” Walrath said. He cited special events he has participated in such as the Interlude Dance and Walk A Mile In Her Shoes, a men’s march across campus to raise awareness and open dialogue about sexual assault and gender violence.

Students who complete a certain number of the traditions in the book by graduation are eligible to become official UNI Traditions Keepers.

Completing 25 traditions earns you a lapel pin to wear at commencement, and completing 45 or more traditions merits a Traditions Keeper medallion.

Walrath has advice for those attempting to complete the Traditions Challenge.

“Be as active and involved as you can on campus, because all of the traditions are directly tied to taking part in the Panther experience and getting involved – going to student organization meetings, going to sporting events, going to lectures, going to concerts – so definitely be active and get involved,” he said.

Students should also carry a camera with them at all times, just in case they decide at the last minute to go to a Traditions Challenge event and need to take a photo.

Finally, “start early, because it’s a lot more difficult to try to accomplish 45 traditions in one semester than it is to do it over the course of three to six years,” Walrath joked.

So you’ve received that all-important letter bearing your future residence hall assignment on the University of Northern Iowa campus and the name of your future roommate. Your heart swells with excitement as you anticipate the end-of-summer dorm gear sales in the stores.

Not so fast! Remember that you have to efficiently share that space with one other person, their stuff and the furniture already provided to you by the Department of Residence. The first and most important thing to do before planning your dorm room setup is to consult the DOR’s website, www.uni.edu/dor.

From there, after clicking on “Future Students” and then “Smooth Move,” you can find the information you need about what the university provides and what its policy allows, as well as general move-in information.

The next thing to do is contact your future roommate. Be direct about what you plan to bring and coordinate your stuff. Remember, the space is already small and the two of you have to split it fairly between each of you and your junk.

Finally, here are some dos and don’ts for your packing list based on the experience of students: DON’T bring anything that violates DOR policy. These policies are in effect to keep you and the hundreds of other people living in your building safe.

DON’T bring your state-of-the-art sound system complete with an earthquake-generating subwoofer. Even when

quiet hours aren’t in effect, nobody else wants to be forced to hear booming bass all hours of the day. Plus, courtesy hours are always in effect, which means your neighbors reserve the right to ask you to turn the music down at any time.

DON’T bring things you don’t need that will distract you from your studies too much. If your Xbox addiction has competed with homework in the past, it might be best to leave the games at home.

DON’T bring a ton of food if you have 19 meals a week (or even 14, if you know you’ll never be up for breakfast in the morning).

DON’T bring unnecessary valuables.

DO bring games and movies for hanging out with new friends and roommates.

DO bring shower shoes and a shower caddy. A robe and extra towels are good too.

DO bring clothes that reflect how quickly the weather changes in Iowa, especially if you’re far from home. Rain boots, umbrellas, light and heavy coats, snow boots and even long underwear are great to have.

DO bring an ice pack if you have a fridge with a freezer. Unless you live in Bartlett, you’ll be without air conditioning. On warmer nights, you can lie with the ice pack under your lower back. It will help lower your body temperature and therefore help you sleep.

DO try not to overpack. Your parents can always send something along if you need it, and you can make a Wal-Mart or Target run before they leave on move-in day. Less is more!

Student organizations offer Introduction to ITS endless opportunities TOM PETERSON ITS Director

TEHRENE FIRMAN Staff Writer

One of the best things about college is that students can find other people passionate about the same things they are. The University of Northern Iowa has an extensive list of student organizations that have something for everyone, from a Quidditch club to an organization that plans big events and brings musicians to campus.

If a student doesn’t find the niche they were hoping they would, it’s easy to create an organization to make it possible. Creating an organization requires a couple of steps before it can become a reality.

The first step in creating a student organization is deciding exactly what it should be.

Come up with a name for the group, a description to let other students know what it’s all about, and find an adviser on campus who will support the group.

Every organization must have an adviser, which can be any staff member at the university, to become an official group on campus. Sometimes the adviser takes a huge role

in the success of the organization and sometimes they don’t, but either way, you must have one.

The next step is writing the organization’s constitution. The constitution requirements can be found online, but a constitution consists of the roles of the group officers and members, financing information and the main purpose of the group, just to name a few.

After filling out a form, it is sent to the Northern Iowa Student Government.

A meeting will be set up, and within the next couple of weeks, one member of the student organization must give a brief speech at an NISG Organization and Finance Committee meeting about the group and why it should be proclaimed a student organization.

Soon after, the group will most likely be added to the list of student organizations on campus. Member recruiting, fun events, meetings — the list of the exciting things that can happen are endless.

With a little work, the new organization could become one of the most popular groups on campus. Many new

save money... skip the parking permit...

Want to start your own student organization?

1. Decide what the organization will do.

2. Get an adviser.

3. Write the organization’s constitution.

4. Fill out a form for NISG. organizations are added to the list each semester, and every student can try to find a place they belong.

Students interested in starting a new student organization can go online and fill out the form at www.uni.edu/ maucker/siac/neworg.shtml.

For a complete list of student organizations on campus visit https://access.uni.edu/ cgi-bin/student_orgs/student_orgs.cgi.

Information Technology Services is responsible for all aspects of information technology support for academic, administrative and research functions, including the campus-wide data and voice networks.

The ITS Student Computer Centers (SCCs) are located throughout campus with several centers open 24 hours per day.

Each SCC offers a variety of software, access to UNI’s email system and the internet as well as laser printing. There are currently 15 SCCs around UNI’s campus offering Windows computers along with HP laser printers.

There are also HP scanners in several of the centers.

The ITS Computer Consulting Center provides the university’s students, faculty, and staff with a centralized point of contact for all supported products and services. The Consulting Center is committed to quality service through teamwork and a proactive approach to problem identification and solution.

The CCC provides customer assistance via walk-in (ITTC Room 36), helpline

(319-273-5555) and online self-help documentation as well as ask-a-question and online chat (www.uni.edu/ its/support) to the UNI community for ITS supported software applications. The CCC processes computer account applications and assists with troubleshooting wireless network connectivity and email problems.

Additionally, we address password resets, facilitate various computer purchasing programs, sell software to students under the Microsoft sale agreement, troubleshoot computer performance and virus/malware problems and assist with recovering data from damaged storage devices such as memory sticks.

The Educational Technology (ET) staff works hard to support the use of technology in teaching and learning. The Technology ‘n’ Training area provides free computer workshops for the UNI community as well as other faculty support services. The Production House is a multimedia production facility that is open to students, faculty, and staff. The Production House can create a media project for you or you can use the self-service facility.

Find your hot study spot TEHRENE FIRMAN Staff Writer

Leaving high school and entering college, a world full of so many fun opportunities and exciting new adventures, is a huge changing point in a person’s life. Being busy with new friends, events around campus and cheering on the Panthers doesn’t seem to leave a whole lot of time to do what all students should be

doing — studying.

If studying in a dorm room with loud music playing and 30 new friends on the floor isn’t working out, there are many other places around campus that serve as the perfect place to study when it’s time to get down to business.

The library, as cliché as it sounds, is one of the best spots to study on campus.

There are four floors to venture into in Rod Library, each

offering different atmospheres to study in. Second floor, the main floor of the library, is the noisiest since it has the reference desk, a lot of places to sit in groups and the main computer lab.

Rebecca Thacker, a junior anthropology major, really enjoys the quietness of the library.

“People are my main distraction, and I need to go to

the library to maintain focus,” she said.

For complete silence, try the third or fourth floor of the library. Both of the floors are quiet enough to hear a pin fall, depending on the spot you find within them.

For a fun environment in the library, take the stairs down to the lower level, first floor, where there are restaurant-style booths.

Another great place to study on campus is in Maucker Union. Although some areas in Maucker Union are very noisy because of all of the students and food venues, other areas make great places to sit down and go over notes.

The Hemisphere Lounge of Macker Union, which is right behind Chats, has a lot fewer distractions. There are comfortable chairs and areas away from other students.

The basement of Maucker Union has tables, chairs and big screen televisions for those who like extra noise.

There is also a computer lab right at hand if there is a need to print any course work.

Going up the stairs by Prexy’s, there are a lot of study spots by the Center for Multicultural Education, including tables for group work. Make sure to head right out of the doors on the same floor if it’s nice out to study on top of the Union outside

Cheer on the Panthers

UNI athletics at an all-time high

BRAD EILERS

Sports Editor

The University of Northern Iowa athletics program has seen its fair share of ups and downs throughout the school’s 135-year history. However, since the turn of the new millennium, the athletics program has reached heights never seen before by the fans of the purple and gold.

Since 2000, UNI has been ranked No. 1 and played for a national championship in football; made five NCAA Tour nament appearances, including one Sweet 16 in men’s basketball; won back-toback Missouri Valley Conference championships and made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances in women’s basketball; won 38 consecutive MVC games and back-to-back MVC regular season and post-season titles in women’s volleyball; recorded six top-20 finishes in wrestling and recorded 17 conference titles in men’s and women’s

indoor and outdoor track and field.

Aside from that, softball, tennis, soccer, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s cross country as well as swimming and diving have been extremely competitive at the Division I level.

All together, the Panthers have won a combined 36 regular season and 13 postseason MVC championships since 2000. Those 49 championships have led to 35 post-season tournament appearances that include a Sweet 16 appearance in men’s basketball, two Sweet 16 appearances in women’s volleyball, three semifinal and one national championship appearance in football and an individual national championship by Tyler Mulder, who won the 2008 indoor national championship in the 800-meter and graduated as the most-decorated runner in UNI history with eight All-American honors.

UNI has also seen the building of a new sports complex, the McLeod Center, in 2006. The McLeod

UNI transportation offers multitude of services ALLIE KOOLBECK Staff Writer

Whether students are looking for a ride to class, the mall or the bars or just looking for a place to park a car, University of Northern Iowa transportation offers it all.

During the academic year, the Panther Shuttle runs Monday through Friday from 7:04 a.m. to 5:04 p.m. The locations for dropoff and pickup include: Residence on the Hill (ROTH), Redeker Center, University Mills apartments, the intersection of West 31st Street and Hudson Road, Hillcrest Park Apartments, Campus Court apartments, the intersection of Southeast 31st Street and Hudson Road, the intersection of 27th Street and Hudson Road, Commons and the intersection of College Street and Seerley Boulevard.

Panther Shuttle is free with a UNI ID. It is sponsored by the Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG), Metropolitan Transit Authority and UNI Public Safety.

“I like the bus because it’s convenient and with gas prices rising it saves me money,” said Emma Maudsley, a sophomore English teaching major.

Exact times and routes can

be found online by searching for “Panther Shuttle” on the UNI website.

An additional option is the buses from Metropolitan Transit Authority. They run Monday through Saturday, with reduced hours on Saturdays. There are multiple routes, but Route 7 and Route 9 are the ones that run through Cedar Falls. Route 10 goes to Hawkeye Community College.

During the academic year, Route 9 is free to students and faculty with a UNI ID. All other routes cost 75 cents per ride with a student ID or students can get a discounted monthly pass for $45.

Both Route 7 and Route 9 come to the UNI Multimodal Transportation Center, which is on 23rd Street across from Bartlett Hall. Route 7 runs to places such as Hy-Vee in College Square and K-Mart on University Avenue. Route 9 runs to places such as WalMart, the intersection of Hudson Road and University Avenue, and Thunder Ridge Shopping Center.

Exact times and routes can be found online at www. mettransit.org/html/schedules.html.

The Weekend SafeRide, which is sponsored by

NISG, Metropolitan Transit Authority and UNI Department of Residence, runs every Friday through Saturday from about 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. It is free to everyone and provides transportation from UNI campus and off-campus housing to College Hill and downtown Cedar Falls. Stops include: ROTH, Hillcrest Park Apartments, Campus Court apartments, University Mills apartments, Redeker Center, the intersection of College Street and Seerley Boulevard, and the intersection of Main Street and Second Street.

Exact routes and times can be found online at www.uni. edu/studentorgs/nisg/sites/ default/files/shuttle.pdf.

UNI also offers students the opportunity to purchase a parking permit, which can be done on MyUniverse. On-campus students may purchase a C permit for $49 per year or an R permit for $27.60 per year. Students can purchase a C Preferred permit for closer parking after they have renewed their housing contract with the Department of Residence. The cost of this is $63 per year.

Off-campus students can purchase a B permit or, if attending class after 4 p.m., an R permit. A B permit costs $72

per year.

“I like having a B permit because the bus doesn’t come to my house and it is too far away to walk,” said Tim Olmstead, a junior communication major.

“I would suggest getting there early to park, though, because you’re not guaranteed a spot and they fill up fast.”

Students who park in the campus parking facilities must have their vehicle registered and display their parking per-

mit. Tickets are given out to violators.

Visitors and guests should park in the metered areas of the parking lots or in the visitor lot north of the GallagherBluedorn Performing Arts Center. If staying overnight, visitors need to get a courtesy parking permit from the Department of Public Safety and will be able to park in any C or R parking area between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.

Climbing to New Heights at WRC

WRC offers something for everyone CASSIE TEGELER

Editorial Staff

The University of Northern Iowa Wellness and Recreation Center provides a wide array of recreational activities for students on campus. Its facilities were completed in 1998 and have been giving students the opportunity to work up a sweat ever since.

According to Kathy Green, Wellness and Recreation Services director, the WRC offers something for everyone.

“Our activities really can match any type of personality and any fitness level … you don’t have to be fit to come over here; you can become fit here,” she said. “We have activities you can do by yourself, activities for relaxation … we have individual activities for exercise, but we also have group activities for people who need the support of a group.”

Green stressed that the WRC is a great place for students to find balance in their lives. She said the WRC can be a place for students to utilize their free time.

“College life can be very busy, and for new students it can be challenging to figure out how to spend your time … the time spent in class is very

small … the time that students have to manage is very large, so finding a balance is important,” she said.

Here is a list of some of the facilities available through the WRC: The Fitness Area – This area provides students with a wide collection of cardio equipment and weight training equipment. The cardio equipment includes treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes, steppers and rowing machines. There are also free weights, weight machines, medicine balls and more.

The facility contains a threelane jogging track that runs around the entire workout facility.

The Free Weight Room – This room includes a variety of Power Lift and Cybex weight equipment and a dumbbell area with sets reaching 100 pounds.

The Courts – The WRC holds 10 courts in two areas of the building. The various courts can be used for basketball, volleyball, indoor tennis, indoor soccer and badminton.

Racquetball/Wallyball Courts – These courts are located in the lower level of the WRC and allow students and faculty the chance to work up a sweat while bouncing balls from wall-to-wall.

The Competitive Pool

– This eight-lane swimming pool is open to recreational lap swim and contains various diving boards. It is also home to the Panther Masters Swim Club.

The Leisure Pool – This 2,500 square foot pool contains a spa, bubble couch and water slide. The pool allows students, faculty and visitors alike the opportunity to take a relaxing dip.

The Climbing Wall – The 38.5 foot climbing wall is in the center of the WRC. It is currently the largest indoor climbing wall on a college campus in the upper Midwest.

Aerobics/Dance Studios – Studios are available for academic classes, fitness programs and sports clubs.

The studios are generally used for fitness classes, spin classes, core workouts, selfdefense classes and martial arts. Students can sign up for workout classes in these studios through the WRC. Ping Pong Tables – Ping pong tables are available for use near the welcome desk.

Paddles and balls are also available for checkout.

The Outdoor Tennis Courts – The eight courts are located adjacent to Bender Hall and can be a great place for students to get moving outside. The courts were renovated in 2007.

CASSANDRA HAYNE/Northern Iowan

Tyler Gardner, a sophomore electronic media major, climbs the Rock Wall at the WRC.

The Health Beat – This workout facility can be found on the ground level of Maucker Union. Since the WRC is closed during academic hours, the Health Beat provides students who need to work out during class times the chance to do so.

The WRC also provides students with the opportunity to participate in intramural sports and sports clubs.

Intramural and club sports include volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer and more.

Green said intramurals can be a wonderful way to get involved and meet new people on campus.

Students can find out more about intramurals and other activities offered through the WRC by visiting their website at www.uni.edu/wellrec.

Your No. 1 Resource

Rod Library provides information and convenience for students LEAH JEFFRIES

Editorial Staff

With more than 970,000 books and periodicals, 41,000 maps, 5,000 items in the archives and many librarians on staff, the University of Northern Iowa’s Rod Library provides students, faculty and staff with plenty of resources to guide them throughout the semester.

“There are so many options for different resources at the library.

The different librarians and student employees are always here to help you get better information for different assignments,” said Chris Neuhaus, library instruction coordinator and associate professor.

Neuhaus advises that if any student ever gets stuck on an assignment, the library is always a good place to start when it comes to finding information.

“Talking with a librarian will always get a student further along in an assignment than they were before,” said Neuhaus.

Alongside the physical sources at the library, there are also more than 1,500 online databases which the library is subscribed to, meaning students have access to all the periodicals posted within the

CASSANDRA HAYNE/Northern Iowan

Lauren Yenzer, a junior art studio major, works at one of the computer stations on the main floor of the library.

database.

Barb Weeg, a reference librarian, believes that the library provides great sources for students beyond just the books and articles.

“Computer stations are convenient because that way students don’t have to lug their computers around,” said Weeg.

The library houses 160 individual computer stations that have Internet access and Microsoft Office 2010. There are also seven collaborative workstations that feature dual monitors.

“The collaborative stations, the computers with two monitors, are a great option when working with a group project because everyone can be involved in the project,” said Allison Kilfoy, a junior majoring in management business administration.

Along with the sources and equipment in the library, the specified sections throughout the library, such as the youth collection and career collection, also provide students with helpful information regarding certain subjects.

“The career collection is a great resource that students should consider using. Incoming freshmen would find a lot of helpful information in the career collection regarding various majors and what occupations follow,” said Weeg. “There is a lot of pressure to pick a major before one is ready. The career collection helps to relieve some of that pressure.”

Also, a feature that is popular with UNI students is the private study rooms.

“The study rooms are the most helpful resource in the library,” said Katie Pollina, a graduate student majoring in curriculum and instruction: literacy education.

“They are probably what I use the most at the library.”

In regards to the library, Pollina advises students to start using it early on in the semester.

“The earlier you go, the easier it is to find things,” said Pollina.

“For example, like where the periodicals are located.”

Weeg also added that students shouldn’t fear the library and that they often know more about a particular subject than they think.

“I am a firm believer that when people come (to the library) to find information, they already have a lot of knowledge regarding the subject to begin with, but from high school to college the systems are different,” said Weeg. “They need to learn new terminology in order to navigate the library.

Really, not only the library but also their university life.”

From the Editor’s Desk

letter from the editor On behalf of the Northern Iowan I would like to welcome you to the University of Northern Iowa as you begin your undergraduate journey. College is a time of great change and growth for many students, a time during which you will form several beliefs, skills, habits and friendships that you will carry with you for the rest of your lives. Whether you’re ready or not, your time at this liberal arts institution will challenge your way of looking at and living in the world and shape who you are as you interact with your fellow students.

Embrace this change during your time at UNI, whether you’re seeking knowledge, skill, truth, direction, friendship, faith or a career. During your four years on this campus you will have an unparalleled opportunity for discussion and involvement; don’t waste it. Get involved in a student organization (or start your own), become a part of the Northern Iowa Student Government, take in an incredible performance at the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center or Strayer-Wood Theatre, cheer on your Panthers in the UNI-Dome, find a kiss under the Campanile as you immerse yourself in UNI’s rich traditions. Don’t just go to class; become a part of this university community in whatever way you can.

The Northern Iowan, the university’s sole student-produced newspaper, strives to walk alongside students as they journey through their college experience, providing in-depth coverage of campus events and issues while connecting students to incredible opportunities and outstanding students and organizations. We pride ourselves as a forum for valuable discussion and free expression in order to facilitate the development of ideas and allow students to share their beliefs, regardless of whether they complement or contradict each other.

In the past we have fulfilled this mission with varying degrees of success, an inconsistency that seems nearly unavoidable as a valuable learning tool for student writers, photographers, sales representatives, circulation managers and editors. Our triumphs have not been without errors. However, with a restructuring of our writing staff and a renewal of our focus, we will constantly move towards greater consistency in our coverage of campus events, students and issues as we seek to enrich students’ educational experience at UNI this academic year.

None of this is possible without you, without dedicated student workers with a passion for their craft, a passion for learning and a passion for this university. Right now the Northern Iowan is seeking writers and photographers with this kind of dedication to excellence and to serving the UNI community to help us enrich our campus.

Be prepared: UNI Student Health Clinic

When you think of college, the first thought is not usually immunizations, but they play a vital role in the health of today’s college student. The University of Northern Iowa requires all students to provide proof of two Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccinations.

Immunization information should be available from your high school health record or your health care provider. This information is mandatory for all new students and must be on file and in compliance, by the 10th day of the first term enrolled at UNI. If students are not in compliance, a $30 fee will be assessed and a hold will be placed on the students’ accounts preventing them from registering for any following semester.

You may be aware that college students are at an increased risk of contracting meningococcal meningitis. The Iowa legislature has mandated that all students admitted to institutions of higher education be informed about meningococcal meningitis. The University of Northern Iowa requires all entering students to either obtain vaccinations for this disease or sign a waiver declining the vaccine. If you received a meningococcal vaccination prior to the age of 16, a booster dose is now recommended.

One question students may have is, “do I need any other immunizations once I am in college?” The answer is yes; we recommend college students get a flu vaccination each year. The UNI Student Health Clinic offers flu vaccination clinics each fall and we encourage all students to be immunized against the flu.

This may be the first time a college student will see a new healthcare provider and it is important that they can share their personal health information during an office visit. Students will need to identify their medication allergies, including reactions to the medication, and the names and dosage of medications they may be currently taking. Lastly, students will be asked about their personal medical history as well as their family medical history. We encourage students to become active par-

ticipants in their own evaluation and care.

If you have a condition requiring ongoing care, please send copies of your current medical records or your provider’s summary to us, and during the first month of school, make an appointment with a health care provider to discuss how we can assist you in meeting your treatment needs.

What services will I find at the UNI Student Health Clinic?

The Student Health Clinic nursing staff includes a resource nurse who helps patients determine the appropriate care of their health problem through phone or inperson visits. We also understand that students are on prescription medications and will need refills while away at school, so we also offer a full-service pharmacy.
