UofSC Campus Status
As we continue to monitor the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), our first priority remains the health, safety and security of our students, faculty, staff and community. We are taking a measured response to mitigate risk and have made the following decisions about our Columbia campus schedule. The same response applies to the regional Palmetto College campuses at USC Lancaster, USC Salkehatchie, USC Sumter and USC Union, as well as the USC Fort Jackson Program.
Campus Access
In accordance with Governor McMaster’s executive order on March 19, only those employees whose presence is necessary in order to maintain continuity of remote educational offerings and to ensure the health and safety of campus need report to work.
All other employees will continue to work remotely.
