Announcement:HU Return to Work Plan – UPDATE as of 8.11.21
In response to recent updates to CDC recommendations, HU has adjusted our Return to Work Plan accordingly. Effective Monday, August 16, 2021, all employees and students will be required to wear a face covering while in any HU buildings. Employees alone in an office with the door closed will not be required to wear a mask, but must don a face covering as soon as they step away from the office or if another individual enters their office .
In an effort to streamline communications, a new email has been created for employees to send their questions and suggestions regarding COVID: COVID19@harrisburgu.edu
Click here for the updated Return to Work Guide, reflecting these changes.
Please continue to monitor HU’s COVID-19 webpage for news and developments: https://covid.harrisburgu.edu/.
May you and your families remain healthy and safe.

By now you are aware that the University is moving all classes to an online format. During this time all students will continue to have access to Student Services. If you have regularly scheduled bi-weekly meetings with me, or any other needs, questions and concerns, I am still available as your point of contact. Please be aware that you also have Academic Resources such as tutoring and learning strategies available on SharePoint. I know this shift was unexpected so let’s stay connected to make sure you are receiving the support you need.

Students, faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to sign up for emergency campus alerts via email or text message by logging into MyHU and accessing the Omnilert (formerly e2Campus) signup form. Students will find the form under the Student Services tab. Staff and Faculty will find it under the Intranet tab. Harrisburg University’s Emergency Notification Service (ENS) is used to communicate with subscribers through voice, text, and email messages, as deemed appropriate in the event of an emergency. Each subscriber can designate up to three contact numbers and specify text, email and/or voice messages. The Emergency Notification Service is designed for use with portable devices and is only one aspect of a layered approach to notifying the University community of emergencies.
