In a letter on Friday, Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher said he is uncertain of when students will return for the fall semester.
Students are scheduled to move into on-campus housing on Aug. 13, but Gallagher said that could change. Classes are scheduled to resume on Aug. 19.
He says some students and staff have asked for online-only classes.
The university has said there are three tiers to its reopening plan: guarded, elevated, and high-risk.
