That would be incorrect.
Physical Distancing, Facial Coverings
SDSU Global Campus adheres to San Diego State University’s
facial covering guidelines, which are as follows:
- Beginning Wednesday, June 1, facial coverings are no longer required for use on campus with the exception of individuals with COVID-like symptoms who are coming to campus for COVID-19 testing (these individuals must continue to wear a facial covering while on campus) or as they exit campus to return home if they have an onset of symptoms while on campus.
- Facial coverings are still recommended and encouraged when possible. We fully support and respect those who wish to continue wearing facial coverings, as they continue to be an effective way to protect oneself and others from any illness, not just COVID-19.
- Facial coverings will continue to be required for all individuals in limited environments that have licensing or other requirements, such as the Children’s Center and Student Health Services.
No, Very correct
Dear SDSU Community,
With this email, we are sharing an update to our COVID-19 facial covering policy.
In light of recent increased COVID-19 transmission and case counts in San Diego County and ahead of the upcoming fall semester, the university is reimplementing its COVID-19 facial covering policy for the first few weeks of the semester.
This policy will be in place until Thursday, Sept. 15. Our university will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and communicate updates to the campus community as we approach that date.
Beginning Monday, Aug. 15, all faculty, staff and students will be required to wear a facial covering in instructional settings regardless of vaccination status.
Facial Coverings Required
Facial coverings are required when in instructional settings, whether indoors or outdoors. This includes classrooms, instructional labs, spaces being actively used in an instructional capacity, and the library.
Instructional faculty, teaching assistants and interpreters who are fully up to date with their vaccinations can remove their facial coverings when teaching as long as students are masked in the classroom.
Facial coverings will also continue to be required for all individuals in limited environments that have licensing or other requirements, such as the Children’s Center and Student Health Services.
Facial Coverings Recommended
Facial coverings are recommended indoors when gathering for events, meetings and other functions with others, to include non-instructional settings, such as offices. As possible, alternate modes of meeting are encouraged, including the use of outdoor spaces and virtual meetings.
Individuals may still voluntarily mask either when in non-required indoor settings or outdoors if they wish to do so.
Continue to Take Other Precautions
As a reminder, never come to campus for classes, work or events if you are experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms and/or test positive. Individuals experiencing symptoms must wear a facial covering if they are on campus to seek testing or as they exit campus to return home if they have onset of symptoms while on campus.
Each of us has a personal responsibility to help stop the spread of any illness, including COVID-19, and every member of our campus community is encouraged to practice good hygiene and cleanliness.
Vaccinations
The California State University (CSU) system’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement remains unchanged and in effect for Fall 2022. All students, faculty and staff are required to have a COVID-19 vaccination and booster when eligible on file to access campus facilities and programs.
The CSU COVID-19 vaccination requirement allows for students, faculty and staff to seek an exemption based on medical or religious grounds. Information on submitting an exemption request is online.
As always, the university continues to monitor the situation with COVID-19 and will update this guidance and the campus community as needed.
We thank you for your ongoing commitment to the health and safety of our campus community.
