COVID-19: Updates & Resources

 

As part of the University of Pittsburgh system, Pitt-Greensburg assures you that our activities will follow the latest and best medical and health information and advice as we move forward through the COVID-19 pandemic. The fluidity of this situation means that every planning option is under consideration. Reducing the risk of COVID-19 requires both institutional and individual actions, and students, faculty, and staff have a critical role deciding on the risks they choose to accept.

 

We know that things may look different as we move through the coming weeks and months, and our plans are subject to change based on the advice of the Pitt Healthcare Advisory Group and the COVID-19 Medical Response Office. Thank you for being flexible as we implement these changes.

 

Students received a message about the University’s Student Code of Conduct policies and our community pledge to encourage community-wide compliance with our health and safety guidelines regarding COVID-19. Please encourage your student(s) to wear face coverings, practice good hand hygiene, and follow physical distancing guidelines to protect their health and the health of our community. Thank you for your partnership in creating a safe and hospitable campus.

 

Keep informed with announcements on our operational posture, risk-reducing protocols, and other campus-related COVID-19 information.
