Ball State University began face-to-face instruction on August 24. The University will continue to take several steps to advance the health and safety of students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors. Please review our plans and additional resources for further details.
If your health care provider has determined that you are symptomatic for COVID-19, you may be tested through the IU Health partnership. Testing appointments are available seven days a week. However, if you have been advised to be tested and you currently do not have symptoms, there are other testing options available.

Students, faculty, and staff who received positive test results from any provider other than the University's Student Health Center or IU Health must self-report that they have tested positive through the Ball State COVID-19 self-reporting form. (Those who are tested at the Student Health Center do not need to complete this form.)
Complete the Form
Our dashboard, which is updated each day, includes information from Ball State University faculty, staff, and students who have been tested for COVID-19 through Ball State’s health center and those tested via our partnership with IU Health. The dashboard also provides data on positive cases from other sources, primarily self-reporting.

Although this Fall will be different, we will continue to provide our students with the high-quality educational experiences they value at Ball State.
The pledge is a commitment to care for yourself, other Cardinals, and our campus and community.
