Additional Thoughts for Spring 2021
The president encouraged students returning to follow CDC guidelines about limiting travel and interactions with others. Therefore, all students are asked to take special precautions to avoid exposure for at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester.
IUP is strongly recommendingbut not requiringCOVID-19 testing prior to return to campus. IUP will offer testing opportunities to students. More information about this testing can be found at Health and Safety Plans for 2020-21 AY.
The computer lab space has been reconfigured on the campus with slightly fewer computers available. Therefore, if you have a computer or laptop, we would encourage you to bring it back with you.
Most of all, please remember we are here to answer any questions you might have. Do not hesitate to email anytime, either your advisor, course instructor, department chair, or the Dean's Office at jon.cooper@iup.edu, or call 724-357-2555.
Take good care.
