Following a three-month comprehensive planning process involving more than 250 faculty, staff, and administrators across 16 task groups, Penn State officials have determined the University can meet or exceed the Pennsylvania Department of Education’s guidelines for colleges and universities to return to campus, and look forward to welcoming back faculty, staff, and students to resume on-campus, in-person classes and other activities this fall in a limited fashion. For more information, please visit virusinfo.psu.edu/back-to-state/.
More details on what this will look like at Penn State Law are forthcoming. Information provided below for students, faculty, and staff will be updated as it becomes available. Information from Spring 2020 has been archived and can be found here.
