As COVID-19 cases bump up, Dean reminds students to take precautions

Dear Students,

The Allegheny County COVID-19 positivity rates continue to trend upward. While case rates on campus remain low, we are seeing reports of new exposures and symptoms that warrant testing. The Pittsburgh area remains in the “low” CDC community level category. Details on the “County View” may be found by clicking here.

As you end finals week, here is additional important information for you to know.

New This Week:

Reminder: Summer Term Begins Monday, May 16

The summer term begins Monday, May 16. Please review your course schedule in Self Service for room locations of on-ground classes and course details. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to your course instructor or your academic advisor.

Taking Precaution through Personal Responsibility

As advocated throughout the pandemic, the best options for navigating the COVID-19 environment are to focus on prevention. Each of us is asked to continue to take steps for the common good of those around us. For the latest guidance on prevention measures, please see the CDC information by clicking here.

Quarantine and Isolation Guidance
