Working Remotely
Current Status — UPDATED February 11, 2021
To minimize the number of people on our campuses and prevent the spread of COVID-19, all work that can be conducted remotely must continue to be conducted remotely until at least August 31, 2021. The only exceptions are:
- critical services on campuses
- approved research activities that cannot be conducted remotely
- approved in-person courses and exams
- approved limited work exceptions on campus (e.g., access to equipment or inadequate work space at home to operate effectively)
One-time and occasional visits to campus can be permitted by supervisors and managers according to the above criteria. See the Approval Processes for Returning to Campus section of the Safety Measures General Directives for more information.
