Air Quality Information

At times, the Hilltop campus and campuses at other locations are impacted by poor air quality. USF will use the Air Quality Index (AQI) used by the Environmental Protection Agency for reporting and forecasting. The EPA operates the publicly available website airnow.gov. USF will use AirNow metrics to guide all recommendations and decisions affecting campus.
