It is important to note the Governor’s stay-at-home order, while modified, is still in place, in an effort to continue to help mitigate the ongoing spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) in North Carolina. 

With current telework and online and alternative course delivery in place, our operations will not see a significant impact as a result of this order. As a reminder, the current campus staffing plan under Governor Cooper’s stay-at-home order remains in place. We will provide further details as they become available.

Extension of pay and leave provisions continues through May 8.

We will continue to share additional Human Resources guidance as we have it.
