Campus is Open

Campus remains open with limited operations, but every effort is being made to reduce the number of people on the campus, to limit the likelihood of infections. The campus is open, including the John W. Anderson Library, for the necessary use of students and employees with valid Crimson Cards.

However, the Little RedHawk Café in the Anderson Library is closed until further notice. The Savannah Fitness Center, Savannah Gymnasium, and the art galleries in the Savannah Center and Arts & Sciences building are also closed.

Labs and Studios

Students who are assigned to individual Fine Arts studios may continue to have access to their studios for critical, essential work, but are expected to maintain social distancing by working alone in their assigned spaces.

Students may also have access to laboratories for critical, essential work, but only with appropriate supervision by faculty or staff members. Please contact your instructor for more information.

Student Employment

Whether or not student employees are able to accomplish their work remotely depends on the character of their duties, the resources required for their work, the needs of their units and equity among colleagues. Such decisions, once again, are at the discretion of division-level supervisors. Please contact your supervisor for more information.
