Coronavirus and Campus Updates

This site provides access to the most up-to-date information on Penn State's response to the coronavirus, as well as related campus-specific information.

Spring Semester:  In-person classes began at Penn State Scranton on February 15, 2021. Masks are required to be worn in all public spaces and classrooms and students are reminded to also follow social distancing and hand-washing recommendations.

COVID-19 testing: Penn State Scranton is conducting universal student testing on the following dates. Please note that appointments are required. For more information on the University's universal Covid-19 testing, click here.

Wednesday, February 24: Student only Universal Testing

  • Testing will run from 9am – 2pm,
  • Located in the Multipurpose Building/Gym

Thursday, February 25: Student only Universal Testing

  • Testing will run from 9am – 2pm,
  • Located in the Multipurpose Building/Gym

 

Beginning March 1 (at the conclusion of the universal required re-testing period during the first two weeks of in-person learning), the University will conduct random testing of approximately 2% of the University’s population of students and employees living, learning or working on campus as well as those who access campus. This includes all employees who are working on campus and students who are taking in-person classes or living within 20 miles of a campus. Students and employees who are selected to participate in random testing are required to complete a COVID-19 test, with a few exceptions.

Guidelines

When Penn State Scranton opens, all faculty, staff, students and visitors will be required to wear face masks covering both the nose and mouth in all indoor and outdoor public areas and in classrooms and buildings.

In classes and other seating areas, individuals are required to adhere to the six-foot social distancing standard established by PA Gov. Tom Wolfe and the CDC.

All individuals are also encouraged to practice appropriate hygiene, including:

  • Coughing sneezing into your elbow, not your hands
  • Refraining from touching your face
  • Washing hands often, for a minimum of 20 seconds, with soap and water – or using hand sanitizer after coming into contact with common surfaces and after using the bathroom.
