Current COVID Protocols
Posted: August 4, 2022
COVID-19 remains a public health concern and Gannon University continues to track is presence on our campus and in our adjacent communities.
Given all the changes in national and state protocols in recent weeks, we thought we give you an at-a-glance reminder of our protocols:
- Gannon University’s Erie and Ruskin campuses are currently mask optional.
- We strongly encourage vaccination for COVID-19 and the booster. We do not require the vaccine to attend or work here, but you are subject to tighter quarantines if you are not vaccinated and become exposed to COVID.
- If you’ve recently received the vaccine, you can share that for your records here. Receive a recent booster? Submit it here.
- We encourage anyone experiencing symptoms of or have been exposed to COVID-19 to reach out through the LiveSafe app, which is monitored by our nursing staff. They will call you and discuss next steps – if any – you might need to take.
- We encourage anyone who is ill to refrain from coming to campus. Instead, reach out to our Health Center and await instructions.
- We continue to test symptomatic individuals for COVID, free of charge. We also can provide testing on request if you are not symptomatic.
- We continue to require isolation and quarantine, based on symptoms and vaccination status. One of our Health Center nurses will advise you on what you should do and for how long.
- If you are in isolation or quarantine and live in campus housing, our Care team will coordinate meal delivery for you.
- If you are in isolation or quarantine, you are eligible for remote instruction so you can stay current with coursework.

December 4: Weather update: Gannon's Erie campus to reopen Thursday
The safety of our students and employees is of the utmost importance to us along with our commitment to our students' education. We are weighing all information related to the weather as well as all local and regional conditions impacted by this historic winter storm.
We maintain regular contact with our city and county officials, and we are making decisions based the most current and available information. We are continuing to monitor conditions and will provide regular updates to our Gannon community with any changes.
We intend to resume in-person instruction on Thursday, Dec. 5, as previously communicated. Many students have already returned to campus in preparation for their classes and for Finals Week.
