June 23 (1 p.m.)

University Health Services (UHS) has invited a limited group of University community members to participate in a COVID-19 testing pilot for asymptomatic individuals on June 25-26. UHS has partnered with Accurate Diagnostics Labs to provide self-collected saliva Covid-19 tests to people without symptoms of coronavirus. The pilot tests will be available to a limited number of faculty, staff and researchers, including some graduate students, who work in essential roles or who have been approved to resume lab work on campus. Only individuals who have been contacted by UHS may participate, though they are not obligated to be tested.

The pilot program to test asymptomatic individuals will help UHS as it continues planning for the fall 2020 semester. As previously announced, the University will decide in early July its plans for the undergraduate program this fall.

As a reminder, all benefits-eligible faculty and staff members have access to COVID-19 testing resources. The University offers the VitalCheck—Doctors in Your Office service to conduct screening and, if appropriate, facilitate testing for COVID-19. The cost is covered 100% by employees’ health insurance. Employees need not be enrolled in a Princeton medical plan to utilize the service.

Employees with symptoms of illness, such as fever, should contact their personal health care provider or make a screening appointment through VitalCheck-Doctors in Your Office. More information is available on the Human Resources Coronavirus page for employees and the University’s coronavirus website. Graduate students and undergraduates on campus with symptoms of illness should call UHS at 609-258-3141.

Message regarding campus operations and planning for fall . On June 17, Governor Murphy announced a new Executive Order outlining the state’s guidance for higher education in New Jersey. This guidance sets, among other things, minimum standards that every institution must meet to resume in-person instruction and welcome students back to campus for residential living. The University is in the process of analyzing the new Executive Order and determining how it will impact the University’s operations for the remainder of the summer and for the coming fall semester. For now, nothing has changed in terms of our campus operations. You should continue to follow the guidance you have received previously. As a reminder, we are still planning to release our plans for undergraduate teaching and learning this fall in early July .

The University will offer faculty and staff a fully paid day off Friday, June 19, to recognize the significance of Juneteenth for our community and to provide space to contemplate how we can do our part to eliminate structural and overt racism and other forms of discrimination on our campus, in our communities, and in our country.

The Office of Admission will suspend its undergraduate standardized testing requirement and move to one application deadline for the 2020-21 first-year admission cycle due to the challenges presented by COVID-19. The changes apply to undergraduate admission.

Earlier today, the state of New Jersey released updated pandemic guidance for colleges and universities. The University is reviewing the guidance and assessing its impact on our planning and operations. These new guidelines will help shape our decision-making regarding undergraduate instruction this fall, which we are still on track to announce in early July.

June 10 (7 p.m.) update:

Over the past two weeks, the state of New Jersey has made a number of announcements relaxing certain restrictions related to COVID-19. The University, however, continues to operate under a series of executive orders designed to minimize the number of employees working on campus and restricting many of our in-person activities in order to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19. We anticipate that these orders will be updated by the state in the coming weeks, and we will communicate directly to those impacted in our community as we adjust any University policies accordingly. All University policies regarding remote work and our limited on-campus operations currently remain in place.

As previously announced, Princeton will decide in early July whether the undergraduate teaching program will be online or residential in the fall term. We are committed to offering the best possible undergraduate education consistent with the health and well-being of our community.

The University will continue to share COVID-19 updates through the coronavirus website, Princeton homepage and other campus communications, including the Community COVID-19 email newsletter. The June 10 edition of the Community COVID-19 newsletter included the following stories:

A recap of the virtual conversation on race in the era of COVID-19. As COVID-19 has swept across the United States, it has unmasked and amplified existing racial inequities. The virtual panel “Race in the COVID Era: What America’s History of Racism and Xenophobia Means for Today” on June 8 discussed strategies to address marginalization and empower impacted communities. You can re-watch this important conversation on the University’s Facebook page.

Princeton University Library's Return Task Force has finalized plans for the phased resumption of on-site library services beginning with two priority services which will provide access to library materials for Princeton University faculty, researchers, postdocs and graduate students. The two priority services are book pick-up and in-house digitization and will begin the week of June 8 with Firestone Library providing the first available pick-up location in a designated area. Branches will follow during that week.

Library locations will not be open to the public or patrons. Patrons will not be allowed beyond the designated pick-up areas. Social distancing and wearing a face covering/mask will be required for picking up books. Library staff will also be following social distancing and other protocol requirements as outlined by the CDC, State and University. Beginning June 8, book pick-up requests can be made via a link on the online catalog pages. This phased resumption of specific services is in line with current state guidance. The BorrowDirect service continues to be suspended at this time.

These steps are part of the process President Eisgruber detailed in his message to the community of May 4 regarding Princeton’s research and teaching enterprise in light of COVID-19.
