California University of Pennsylvania has announced a plan to welcome students back to campus this fall.
A reopening guide published on the university’s website highlights changes being made on and off campus for students and faculty to safely return for the fall semester.
The guide is a “living document” that will be updated and amended in response to changing conditions.
Portions of the guide were designed based on the Phase 2 recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control, the KUALI “Higher Ed Return to Campus Guide” checklist and guidance from state and federal government agencies, including the state Department of Education.
Cal U President Geraldine Jones said the plan is to resume in-person instruction.
“Now that southwestern Pennsylvania has entered the ‘green’ phase of the governor’s reopening plan and the state Department of Education has provided guidance for resuming in-person operations, Cal U’s Reopening Task Force is finalizing plans to welcome students and employees safely to campus this fall,” Jones said in a statement. “We intend to resume on-campus classes, reopen our residence halls and offer a vibrant campus experience — with enhanced measures in place to protect the health and safety of our students and employees.”
