In addition, departments such as FSUPD, Emergency Management, Facilities, Environmental Health and Safety, Health and Wellness, Human Resources, Controller’s Office, Procurement, University Libraries, Housing, Information Technology Services, and Campus Recreation
are considered essential and should ensure the appropriate on-campus coverage to support institutional needs. </span></span></span></p>
