Point Park University updates policy on masks

PITTSBURGH, PA – Point Park University has been consistent throughout the pandemic in following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Allegheny County Health Department and our medical partners at UPMC on best practices to keep our campus and campus community as safe as possible from COVID.

With the recent uptick in Delta variant cases in Southwestern Pennsylvania, and following CDC guidelines, Point Park will reinstitute masking requirements effective Friday, August 13, for everyone while inside University buildings. This includes all students, faculty, staff and visitors, regardless of vaccination status.

Masks can be removed when dining in University spaces while eating and drinking, when inside private offices and when students are in their residential areas.
