    University vehicles are available for use. See the recommended guidance for occupant safety below:
    • Limit occupancy to only 4 passengers
    • Wear face coverings/mask (especially on long trips)
    • Open the windows for more fresh air

    The best protection is to get vaccinated if you can. If you are sick, please do not travel with others. Stay home and get well.

  • Faculty/Staff - Who do I contact to set up my office computer if I have been using it at home?
    PCs that have been used off campus must have been scanned and cleared by May 1st prior to connecting them to the MU network.  PCs that have not been scanned and cleared will need to be wiped upon return to campus.  Schedule your return to campus appointment here:  https://www.millersville.edu/ithelp and select “Equipment Setup on Return to Campus.”  

    Macs do not need to be scanned when returning to campus. 

    If you are returning your computer to your office before the new network is fully functional, schedule an appointment with IT using this link (https://www.millersville.edu/ithelp) to get your office computer set up. Once the new network is fully functional, you should be able to connect to the MU network through Ethernet or WiFi without assistance (as long as it was scanned and cleared).

  • Workers Compensation - I believe I contracted COVID-19 at work. Is the illness covered under PA Workers' Compensation laws?

    Yes, but since it is difficult to know if a person who contracts COVID-19 got the virus at work (because the virus is everywhere), it may not be covered by our workers' compensation carrier. No test can determine exactly where and when a person contracts COVID-19.
