COVID-19: CDC Resources for Higher Education Administrators

  • 03/10/20

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have available on their website information on “Interim Guidance for Administrators of US Institutions of Higher Education” to assist colleges and universities to plan, prepare and respond to Coronavirus Disease 2019. The information provided is intended to assist institutions and their partners in understanding how to help prevent the transmission of COVID-19 among students, faculty and staff. The information is also intended to help colleges and universities react quickly should a case of the illness be identified. Also included is guidance for institutions with students participating in international travel or study-abroad programs.

The CDC indicates that they will update this guidance as needed and as additional information becomes available. Please check the CDC website periodically for updated interim guidance.
