Student-athletes who practice/compete while suffering with the flu have an increased risk for complications, Buchwalder and Fischer said in the advisory.
The advisory also encourages faculty, students and staff to take prescribed flu antiviral drugs and get a flu vaccine.
The advisory does not detail the number of reported flu cases on campus, nor does it discuss the impact the increased cases have had on class attendance.
University spokeswoman Cilla Shindell said the note is "precautionary" and a reminder to people to practice good health habits.
