Ten new COVID-19 cases were reported last week to the university.
Seven FIU students and three faculty members self-reported contracting the virus the week of Sept.14, according to the FIU community COVID-19 dashboard.
Last week, all new student cases were of students learning remotely. Two of the three faculty members teach in-person classes.
The FIU Dashboard only reflects cases self-reported by students and faculty to the Student Affairs and Human Resources divisions.
The dashboard divides cases into four categories: students living or learning on campus; students learning remotely; faculty/staff working on campus and faculty/staff working remotely.
Due to privacy laws protecting students and faculty, the university cant verify the self-reported cases.
A total of 57 students and 22 faculty cases have been reported to the university in the last five weeks, since August 17.
Of the 57 student cases, 33 live or study on campus. Eight of the 22 faculty cases are professors who work on campus.
The dashboard is updated every Monday by the FIU Covid-19 Response Team.
