Working Remotely

The following webpage contains COVID-19 guidance developed for students, faculty, staff, residents and fellows at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS). This guidance was periodically reviewed and updated between March 2020 and June 2024.

Last Updated: 03-29-2023

EVMS continues to deliver on-campus classes and other educational activities as well as remote learning, research and clinical care. Therefore, faculty and staff must have a presence on-campus to provide necessary support.

The Telework and Remote Work Policy is in effect and allows for up to three days telework work weekly for eligible employees with supervisor and HR approval. Telework requests must be initiated by the supervisor and must be submitted by email to EVMSHR@evms.edu.

Find the Remote Services and Applications Guide for those working remotely.
