COVID-19 campus protocols
Updated Feb 14, 2022
- All students living on campus must be vaccinated or apply for an exception. All students must participate in weekly surveillance testing regardless of vaccination status. Unvaccinated students must test twice weekly.
- All faculty, staff and postdocs must conduct weekly surveillance testing regardless of vaccination status. Effective January 4, 2022, all employees must be vaccinated or have an approved University accommodation.
- Masks must be worn in shared offices, indoor spaces, or in carts or vehicles.
- Per Santa Clara County and Cal/OSHA, employers must record employee vaccination status. Staff, faculty, and postdocs must record their status, including vaccination date and type, and upload an image of their vaccination card in HealthCheck. Once you upload the card, you no longer need to fill out the daily HealthCheck.
