USF's current returning to campus phase

USF is currently in Phase II

Phase II allows for up to 50% of staff returning to the campuses, based on space configuration. It allows for courses to be delivered through a combination of face-to-face, hybrid and online instruction, and some points of service will open on campus. Residence halls will open with new health and safety policies in place. Travel restrictions remain in place, and all individuals who can work remotely should continue to do so. Meetings and events should continue to be held virtually. Face coverings are required on all campuses.
