Update 3/13/2020: NSU WILL TRANSITION TO ONLINE CLASSES – https://www.nsula.edu/nsu-will-transition-to-on-line-classes-as-pandemic-continues/
Northwestern State University is partnering with local, state and federal public health departments to keep the campus community informed about the coronavirus and the measures individuals should take to stay healthy.
What is the coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
2019-nCoV is a newly identified coronavirus that is causing an outbreak of pneumonia illness. It was first identified in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since then, the virus has been identified in multiple other countries, including cases in the U.S.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), human coronaviruses are common throughout the world and usually cause mild to moderate illness in people. This new virus is a public health concern because:
• It is newly identified, so much is still unknown about it.
• Two other human coronaviruses, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, have caused severe illness.
Status of Disease Locally: There are both confirmed and presumptive cases of coronavirus in Louisiana.
What is the risk?
The CDC considers this new virus a public health concern based on current information. However, the immediate health risk to the general US public is considered low at this time. The CDC and the World Health Organization are closely monitoring the situation and providing ongoing guidance.
Symptoms and transmission:
Symptoms may be flu-like, ranging from mild to serious, and include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Difficulty breathing
Person-to-person spread is occurring, although it’s unclear exactly how it is transmitted and how easily the virus spreads between people.
If you travel to/through Wuhan or other parts of China:
The CDC recommends avoiding non-essential travel to Wuhan, China. Chinese officials have closed transport within and out of Wuhan, including buses, subways, trains, and the airport. If you must travel:
Avoid contact with sick people.
Avoid animals (alive or dead), animal markets, and products that come from animals (such as uncooked meat).
Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Older adults and travelers with underlying health issues may be at risk for more severe disease and should discuss travel to Wuhan with their health care provider.
Travel & Study Abroad:
International travel and non-essential domestic travel has been suspended. Students, faculty and staff are directed to report to the university all personal travel to a country identified by the CDC as Level 1 or greater risk. Please contact your program coordinator for updates and guidance.
Treatment:
People infected with 2019-nCoV should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms. Currently, there is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for 2019-nCoV infection. (source: CDC)
Prevention:
There is no vaccine to prevent this virus, and the CDC advises that the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Currently, 2019-nCoV has not been found to be spreading in the U.S., so there are no additional precautions recommended for the general public to take.
Here are everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Recommendations for people with respiratory symptoms:
If you have symptoms of fever, cough, and/or difficulty breathing and in the last 14 days you:
• Traveled to Wuhan, or
• Visited an affected region in China, or
• Had close contact with someone who had traveled to an affected region in China and had respiratory symptoms.
You should:
• Seek medical care right away. Before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
• Students should call Health Services at (318) 357-5351 if on campus or contact your primary care provider. Please call before arrival to Health Services or primary care provider. NSU Health Services will provide advice by phone during the hours of 7:30-4:30 Monday – Thursday and 7:30-12:00 on Friday.
• Avoid contact with others.
• Do not travel while sick.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available
What is the campus health service doing about 2019-nCoV?
NSU Administration, Student Affairs and Student Health Services continue to follow the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and the American College Health Association. Officials will continue to keep the university community informed of campus decisions as more is learned about this virus and the outbreak. Contact Carla Walker, RN, at NSU Health Services with questions and concerns.
Personnel with Red River Sanitors, NSU’s contracted janitorial service, have put forth extra effort in disinfecting doorknobs and other frequently-touched surfaces in campus buildings and ensuring that hand sanitizer dispensers are full. Residence halls also have sanitizer available in public areas.
Updates will be posted here and in Messenger as they become available.

NSU will transition to online classes as pandemic continues
NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University President Dr. Chris Maggio issued the following statement regarding the on-going threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the ongoing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, Northwestern State University will suspend all in-person classes effective at the end of the day Friday, March 13, and transition to online instruction and other remote learning alternatives beginning Thursday, March 19.
There will be no classes at the university Monday-Wednesday, March 16-18, as plans are finalized for the conversion from in-person classes to the online and remote delivery format. Online classes will begin Thursday, March 19. University offices will remain open all week.
Northwestern will join other schools in the University of Louisiana System in moving from face-to-face instruction to online and other alternative learning in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. The university will provide technical support to students and faculty who require that assistance.
There are no reported cases of COVID-19 at any of Northwestern’s campuses. University offices will remain open, and all ancillary services, including dining accommodations and access to the library and computer labs, will continue. Students in residential facilities may continue to reside on NSU campuses or participate in classes from other sites.
To ensure the health and safety of students, faculty and staff, the university will continue to monitor conditions related to coronavirus. Alternative work arrangements for personnel and modified residential accommodations for students could result from an outbreak of COVID-19 on campus or in the community.
Numerous university events and activities are being canceled, postponed or adjusted as a result of this public health crisis. All athletic events have been suspended through March 30, and events expected to attract more than 50 participants will be canceled or postponed to conform with social distancing criteria recommended by health authorities. Please continue to check the university’s website at www.nsula.edu for updates on NSU activities, events and programs.
International travel and non-essential domestic travel has been suspended. Students, faculty and staff are directed to report to the university all personal travel to a country identified by the CDC as Level 1 or greater risk.
Sanitation of university facilities has been expanded to include intensive efforts to disinfect and sanitize all surfaces of buildings and other sites.
“These extraordinary efforts are intended to help mitigate the escalation of rapidly expanding cases of coronavirus,” Maggio said. “I apologize for any inconvenience or disruption created by the university’s response to the impact of coronavirus and appreciate your understanding and patience.
“Your recommendations for other measures to enhance the health and well-being of students, faculty, staff and others in the university community and reinforce NSU’s firm commitment to its mission and goals and those we serve would be appreciated and receive careful consideration.
Information regarding NSU’s response to COVID-19 will continue to be available and updated at https://www.nsula.edu/covid-19/.
NSU ranked best online school in Louisiana
By Leah Jackson
02/27/2014
NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University was named the most popular online school in the SR Education Group’s Louisiana Guide to Online Schools. Northwestern State was ranked first out of 37 institutions of higher education that offer online courses, including public and private universities, community colleges, seminaries, technical colleges and court reporting institutes in Louisiana.
According to Kimberly Wetter, a spokesperson for SR Education Group, 80 percent of online students live within 100 miles of a campus or service center of the institution they attend.
“Although location does not seem like it would be a factor in deciding which online college to attend, many students prefer a local college. That piece of information prompted us to do our own study and look into the most popular online colleges in each state,” Wetter said.
The rankings list was generated based on the most up-to-date statistics provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Using their stats on students enrolled in distance education, SR Education Group compiled location-based lists of schools offering online education options for students.
“We are very happy and honored to be recognized as the top school by the SR Education Group’s Louisiana Guide to Online Schools,” said Dr. Darlene Williams, NSU’s vice president for Technology, Research and Economic Development. “This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of NSU’s faculty and staff who make great things happen year after year.”
SR Education Group is a provider of education resources that creates and maintains websites aimed at helping students make career and educational decisions. The organization provides information to connect students with the resources they need to complete their education by learning about degree programs, careers and education financing.

NSU provides information about coronavirus

Update 3/13/2020: NSU WILL TRANSITION TO ONLINE CLASSES – https://www.nsula.edu/nsu-will-transition-to-on-line-classes-as-pandemic-continues/
Northwestern State University is partnering with local, state and federal public health departments to keep the campus community informed about the coronavirus and the measures individuals should take to stay healthy.
What is the coronavirus (2019-nCoV)?
2019-nCoV is a newly identified coronavirus that is causing an outbreak of pneumonia illness. It was first identified in December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. Since then, the virus has been identified in multiple other countries, including cases in the U.S.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), human coronaviruses are common throughout the world and usually cause mild to moderate illness in people. This new virus is a public health concern because:
• It is newly identified, so much is still unknown about it.
• Two other human coronaviruses, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, have caused severe illness.
Status of Disease Locally: There are both confirmed and presumptive cases of coronavirus in Louisiana.
What is the risk?
The CDC considers this new virus a public health concern based on current information. However, the immediate health risk to the general US public is considered low at this time. The CDC and the World Health Organization are closely monitoring the situation and providing ongoing guidance.
Symptoms and transmission:
Symptoms may be flu-like, ranging from mild to serious, and include:
- Fever
- Cough
- Difficulty breathing
Person-to-person spread is occurring, although it’s unclear exactly how it is transmitted and how easily the virus spreads between people.
If you travel to/through Wuhan or other parts of China:
The CDC recommends avoiding non-essential travel to Wuhan, China. Chinese officials have closed transport within and out of Wuhan, including buses, subways, trains, and the airport. If you must travel:
Avoid contact with sick people.
Avoid animals (alive or dead), animal markets, and products that come from animals (such as uncooked meat).
Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available.
Older adults and travelers with underlying health issues may be at risk for more severe disease and should discuss travel to Wuhan with their health care provider.
Travel & Study Abroad:
International travel and non-essential domestic travel has been suspended. Students, faculty and staff are directed to report to the university all personal travel to a country identified by the CDC as Level 1 or greater risk. Please contact your program coordinator for updates and guidance.
Treatment:
People infected with 2019-nCoV should receive supportive care to help relieve symptoms. Currently, there is no specific antiviral treatment recommended for 2019-nCoV infection. (source: CDC)
Prevention:
There is no vaccine to prevent this virus, and the CDC advises that the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Currently, 2019-nCoV has not been found to be spreading in the U.S., so there are no additional precautions recommended for the general public to take.
Here are everyday actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
Recommendations for people with respiratory symptoms:
If you have symptoms of fever, cough, and/or difficulty breathing and in the last 14 days you:
• Traveled to Wuhan, or
• Visited an affected region in China, or
• Had close contact with someone who had traveled to an affected region in China and had respiratory symptoms.
You should:
• Seek medical care right away. Before you go to a doctor’s office or emergency room, call ahead and tell them about your recent travel and your symptoms.
• Students should call Health Services at (318) 357-5351 if on campus or contact your primary care provider. Please call before arrival to Health Services or primary care provider. NSU Health Services will provide advice by phone during the hours of 7:30-4:30 Monday – Thursday and 7:30-12:00 on Friday.
• Avoid contact with others.
• Do not travel while sick.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when coughing or sneezing.
• Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available
What is the campus health service doing about 2019-nCoV?
NSU Administration, Student Affairs and Student Health Services continue to follow the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization and the American College Health Association. Officials will continue to keep the university community informed of campus decisions as more is learned about this virus and the outbreak. Contact Carla Walker, RN, at NSU Health Services with questions and concerns.
Personnel with Red River Sanitors, NSU’s contracted janitorial service, have put forth extra effort in disinfecting doorknobs and other frequently-touched surfaces in campus buildings and ensuring that hand sanitizer dispensers are full. Residence halls also have sanitizer available in public areas.
Updates will be posted here and in Messenger as they become available.

NSU will transition to online classes as pandemic continues
NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University President Dr. Chris Maggio issued the following statement regarding the on-going threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the ongoing threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, Northwestern State University will suspend all in-person classes effective at the end of the day Friday, March 13, and transition to online instruction and other remote learning alternatives beginning Thursday, March 19.
There will be no classes at the university Monday-Wednesday, March 16-18, as plans are finalized for the conversion from in-person classes to the online and remote delivery format. Online classes will begin Thursday, March 19. University offices will remain open all week.
Northwestern will join other schools in the University of Louisiana System in moving from face-to-face instruction to online and other alternative learning in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus. The university will provide technical support to students and faculty who require that assistance.
There are no reported cases of COVID-19 at any of Northwestern’s campuses. University offices will remain open, and all ancillary services, including dining accommodations and access to the library and computer labs, will continue. Students in residential facilities may continue to reside on NSU campuses or participate in classes from other sites.
To ensure the health and safety of students, faculty and staff, the university will continue to monitor conditions related to coronavirus. Alternative work arrangements for personnel and modified residential accommodations for students could result from an outbreak of COVID-19 on campus or in the community.
Numerous university events and activities are being canceled, postponed or adjusted as a result of this public health crisis. All athletic events have been suspended through March 30, and events expected to attract more than 50 participants will be canceled or postponed to conform with social distancing criteria recommended by health authorities. Please continue to check the university’s website at www.nsula.edu for updates on NSU activities, events and programs.
International travel and non-essential domestic travel has been suspended. Students, faculty and staff are directed to report to the university all personal travel to a country identified by the CDC as Level 1 or greater risk.
Sanitation of university facilities has been expanded to include intensive efforts to disinfect and sanitize all surfaces of buildings and other sites.
“These extraordinary efforts are intended to help mitigate the escalation of rapidly expanding cases of coronavirus,” Maggio said. “I apologize for any inconvenience or disruption created by the university’s response to the impact of coronavirus and appreciate your understanding and patience.
“Your recommendations for other measures to enhance the health and well-being of students, faculty, staff and others in the university community and reinforce NSU’s firm commitment to its mission and goals and those we serve would be appreciated and receive careful consideration.
Information regarding NSU’s response to COVID-19 will continue to be available and updated at https://www.nsula.edu/covid-19/.
NSU ranked best online school in Louisiana
By Leah Jackson
02/27/2014
NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University was named the most popular online school in the SR Education Group’s Louisiana Guide to Online Schools. Northwestern State was ranked first out of 37 institutions of higher education that offer online courses, including public and private universities, community colleges, seminaries, technical colleges and court reporting institutes in Louisiana.
According to Kimberly Wetter, a spokesperson for SR Education Group, 80 percent of online students live within 100 miles of a campus or service center of the institution they attend.
“Although location does not seem like it would be a factor in deciding which online college to attend, many students prefer a local college. That piece of information prompted us to do our own study and look into the most popular online colleges in each state,” Wetter said.
The rankings list was generated based on the most up-to-date statistics provided by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Using their stats on students enrolled in distance education, SR Education Group compiled location-based lists of schools offering online education options for students.
“We are very happy and honored to be recognized as the top school by the SR Education Group’s Louisiana Guide to Online Schools,” said Dr. Darlene Williams, NSU’s vice president for Technology, Research and Economic Development. “This is a true testament to the hard work and dedication of NSU’s faculty and staff who make great things happen year after year.”
SR Education Group is a provider of education resources that creates and maintains websites aimed at helping students make career and educational decisions. The organization provides information to connect students with the resources they need to complete their education by learning about degree programs, careers and education financing.
