Update on COVID-19 Policies

As Pitt Public Health prepares for the return of in-person classes fall term 2021, we would like to reassure the community that we are doing everything possible to keep our students, faculty and staff healthy and safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Your well-being is of the utmost importance. 

As such, we will continue to follow the policies and procedures outlined by the University of Pittsburgh that seek to minimize the risk of infection while making the most of our ability to carry out the vital activities of teaching, research and community service. 

  • These policies will continue the requirement of face coverings inside all University buildings regardless of vaccination status. 
  • In addition, those who are not fully vaccinated or are immunocompromised – or live with someone who is – should wear face coverings outdoors while on campus when they are unable to socially distance for a sustained period of time. 
  • We also very strongly encourage our entire Pitt Public Health family to get vaccinated. Vaccination is by far the best tool we have to keep us all healthy and safe. 
  • We fully support the message from the Office of the Senior Vice Chancellor of the Health Sciences that encourages everyone in the Pitt community to upload their vaccination cards.  Doing so demonstrates our commitment to each other, the larger Pitt community and beyond.

Many of our incoming and returning students have asked questions about specific plans and policies related to the resumption of in-person teaching.  To address these concerns, we will be developing a question and answer document, and remain open to continued dialogue around these issues.  As this is an ever-changing situation, we will keep our community informed of any University-wide policy changes that may impact the fall term plans.
