As Humboldt State University continues to plan for summer operations and the Fall semester, it has become clear that the number of faculty and staff working on campus will continue to be limited for the safety of the campus community. 

With a goal of keeping campus density low in the fall, most employees will need to continue telecommuting. Likely fewer than 30 percent of employees will return to work on campus. In many cases, employees will work most of the time telecommuting with limited hours physically on campus.

The following message from the Provost's office was sent to students today:

Dear Students,

We hope you and your loved ones are well. We’re writing to provide an update on your class schedule for Fall 2020.

Humboldt State University is developing a proposal for limited face-to-face instruction this fall, which it expects to submit to CSU system leaders as soon as possible. The guidelines for submitting such requests are expected soon. 

Humboldt State will maintain limited student services as the summer break gets underway. Please note the open times and availability below. Campus remains closed to the public.

Dining Services:

• Campus Marketplace will be open 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday, and will be closed weekends.

• All other dining services are closed.

Oh SNAP!: 

Humboldt State University has successfully allocated millions in emergency funds to 5,200 HSU students through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. CARES is a new law meant to help individuals and businesses, including colleges and universities, cover emergency expenses related to COVID-19.

The HSU community has rallied and supported one another during the challenges of recent months. Now, as we head into the summer break, it is important to continue with that and also to be aware of the disparate impact of the pandemic, which has amplified a number of equity issues and raised concerns about bias faced by people of color and people with other marginalized identities and their intersections. 

Humboldt State University’s athletics conference - the California Collegiate Athletic Association - has suspended Fall sports competition. The announcement follows CSU Chancellor’s White’s announcement that the vast majority of courses at CSU campuses will be virtual for the Fall semester as part of the ongoing response to COVID-19.

The CCAA announcement reads:

Humboldt State University has been actively participating in discussions about fall instruction within the California State University system. 

Humboldt State University is committed to assisting as many students as possible through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, a new law meant to help individuals and businesses, including colleges and universities, cover emergency expenses related to COVID-19.

Under the CARES Act, the University will allocate $5,151,499 to the following groups of currently enrolled students, who will receive the full amount, even if there are any outstanding charges on their HSU account:
