The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) do not recommend that schools and universities cancel classes or large public gatherings. In the event that they change this guidance and recommend that the University suspend operations to limit the spread of H1N1, we will notify you of this change via our intranet sites, e-mail and JeffALERT our Emergency Notification System that can send out alerts through text messaging, voicemail and e-mail to numerous devices such as cellular phones, landline phones, fax machines and PDAs.
University students, faculty and staff can visit our JeffALERT web site to learn how to update your contact information so you can receive these communications. You may also check the University’s Operational Status by viewing this site’s home page on the top right hand column.
The duration of suspension of normal operations would depend upon the severity of the pandemic and the ongoing evaluation of the health risks by public health officials.
