There are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 at Clemson University at this time, but University officials continue to closely monitor Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and are actively engaged in daily planning in an effort to inform and protect faculty, staff, students and visitors from the virus.
COVID-19 is a rapidly evolving and expanding situation. The U.S. State Department and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are issuing frequent travel advisories, including locations Clemson students are from, currently are in or have plans to travel to. Anyone planning travel should visit the CDC and Department of State websites for more information related to the latest advisories.
The Division of Academic Affairs, Office of Global Engagement and staff members in our colleges have been in close contact with our students studying abroad and the university stands ready to take any necessary actions to ensure the health of our students studying outside of the United States.
In addition to the daily planning work that has been underway in recent weeks, Provost Bob Jones and Executive Vice President Tony Wagner are convening an informational and preparedness planning session Monday, March 2, for academic and administrative department leaders. Further communications will follow from that meeting, and as events warrant.
Finally, the University has compiled relevant information about coronavirus and helpful resource links HERE, which will be updated regularly, and will continue to provide updates through social media (@OurClemson, @ClemsonSafety), Clemson.edu and via email as the situation warrants.
