ALERTS FOR MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS

New 2-Step Process for Being On Campus

All MU faculty, staff & student employees returning to campus, regardless of how long you will be on campus need to:

  1. Stop at the drive-through location in front of Witmer Health Services building and receive a temperature check and COVID-19 screening (answer a couple questions) when arriving on campus.
    • Health Services screening hours are Mon – Fri 5:45 a.m. – 4 p.m.
    • Employees who arrive on campus when staff is not at the drive-through location M-F, must go to the side entrance (door facing Luek Hall) and ring the bell. A Health Services staff member will come to the door and do the screening.
    • If you pass the screening you will be given a colored wrist band to wear indicating to others that you have received your daily COVID-19 screening.
    • If you are scheduled to work on weekends or evenings you should contact your supervisor for screening instructions.
  2. Always wear a mask or face covering when coming on campus and for your health screening.

Note: You no longer need to call MU police before you enter campus.

For questions, please contact your supervisor, Environmental Health and Safety at patrick.weidinger@millersville.edu, or Health Services at hservices@millersville.edu.
