What is COVID-19 Student Support Services?

Student Support Services provides assistance and support to all Penn State students who have been placed in isolation due to COVID-19. The Case Managers work to assist students with faculty notification, access to resources, and general support resources during their time isolation.

Notify faculty to inform that the student is not permitted to attend class until they are released from isolation
Reach out to the student via phone to check in, review expectations, and provide resources
