Key Information for Students
Continuing Mitigation Practices During the Holidays
As the CMU community of students, faculty and staff engage in holiday travel and celebrations, the CDC offers considerations to help protect individuals and their families, friends and communities from COVID-19.
Pre-Winter Break Asymptomatic COVID-19 Testing
Prior to winter break, the university is offering 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 is 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: Modified Services from Thanksgiving Break to February 8, 2021
Modified Services Through February 8, 2021
The university will remain in a Modified On-Campus Services Posture from now until February 8, 2021, with remote instruction only through December 22, 2020.
Campus Services Operating Hours Through Winter Break

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.
Winter Dining Hours
On-campus dining locations will be open for business through the end fall of the semester. During this remote-only instruction period, Dining Services will provide modified hours and services, consistent with similar de-densification efforts across campus. Dining plans, FLEX and DineXtra will remain active through the lunch meal period on December 22.
Campus Services Operating Hours Through Winter Break
Most campus services are available remotely and/or in person with modified operating hours. View the hours of operation for Dining Services, Cohon University Center, athletics and recreation, The CMU Pantry and more through winter break.
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.
