Putting health first.
While the COVID-19 public health emergency has officially been declared over, Temple University remains committed to ensuring the health of our campus community. Temple’s response to COVID-19 will continue to be informed by guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the city of Philadelphia. Ensuring the health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff remains our top priority. We'll continue to provide the support and resources you need—every step of the way.
If ill, students are responsible for contacting their instructors and for making a plan to make up all missed content in case of COVID-19 or any health-related absences.
