Pre-Winter Break Asymptomatic COVID-19 Testing
Prior to winter break, the university offered asymptomatic COVID-19 tests to all Pittsburgh-located students to support their travel plans and minimize risk of virus transmission. Asymptomatic COVID-19 testing prior to departure from the region is another way you can help plan for the health and well-being of yourself, your family and your community. Each student was eligible for one asymptomatic COVID-19 test during this testing period at no cost.
Update on the 2021 Spring and Summer Calendars
In addition to a delayed start date, all undergraduate and graduate courses will now be required to start the spring semester remotely for the first week of classes. As previously shared, the spring semester will include two additional break days in addition to the mid-semester break. Read the full update on the 2021 Spring and Summer Calendars.
Current Service Posture: Restricted Services
Restricted Services: Effective 12/11/20
In response to the latest Pennsylvania mitigation order, we have changed our campus posture from modified to restricted services.
Campus Services Operating Hours Through Winter Break
The university will be closed for winter break from December 24, 2020 through January 1, 2021. View the hours, contact information and details through winter break for various departments across campus.
Research
Approved projects are returning to their CMU locations while complying with university-wide minimum requirements. All other researchers are continuing to operate remotely until authorized to return to CMU facilities.
Working at CMU
The majority of departments and units across the university are currently working remotely. As future business needs dictate, the university has created plans for select units/employees to return to campus under strict guidance.
Campus Services Operating Hours Update
Due to the latest Pennsylvania mitigation order, all CMU fitness facilities are closed. Libraries locations on the Pittsburgh campus are closed for the remainder of the semester. Subject to a review after the winter break, the university plans to reopen Sorrells Library on January 19, 2021.
Campus Spaces
Seating arrangements in open areas across campus have been repositioned to allow for at least 6 feet of distance. Campus buildings are operating at approximately 50% capacity (or less) to reduce exposure and high-touch, high-traffic areas are cleaned consistently throughout the day.
