Coronavirus (COVID-19) Information

• Spring semester begins remotely January 24 with return to normal operations January 31; staff remain on staggered work schedule (Black and Orange) through January 31
• Given the spike in cases of COVID due to the Omicron variant, staff will remain on the Black and Orange schedule until Monday, January 31. Additionally, William Paterson will hold all classes remotely the week of January 24-30 and return to a normal schedule on January 31. While COVID vaccine boosters are not being required at this time, they are strongly encouraged for everyone who is eligible to receive them. As the pandemic continues to evolve, the one constant since vaccines first became available is that people who are fully vaccinated fare best in terms of avoiding the disease and, should they contract it, avoiding hospitalization and death.
