This suspension undergoes periodic review, and should the situation change will be updated accordingly. For individuals returning to campus or a University global location from affected regions, follow current U.S. Government and Centers for Disease Control (CDC ) guidance for travelers returning from Ebola-Affected Areas. If symptoms develop, seek medical guidance immediately and avoid coming to campus or a University location until medically evaluated.
