The university’s COVID-19 dashboard only tracks data on vaccinations and tests administered by FIU clinics. Previously, the dashboard had reported COVID-19 case numbers among students, faculty, and staff.

It had reflected cases that were self-reported by the FIU community to the Student Affairs and Human Resources divisions or the FIU COVID-19 Response Team. 

A total of 488 cases were reported since the start of the spring semester, with 198 being students and the remaining 290 being faculty and staff members. 

A total of 972 cases were self reported to FIU since the beginning of the fall 2020 semester. There were 646 cases reported by students, 355 of which were students living or learning on campus and the other 291 learning remotely. Of the 326 cases reported by faculty or staff members, 148 were working on campus while the remaining 149 were working from home.
