The updated COVID-19 safety course is now live and can be accessed here.
Anyone working in campus facilities must take the training prior to returning to work—even if they took the old version. The course should only take 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
Due to recent changes to guidelines in regards to masking by the CDC, CDPH, and Humboldt County Public Health, and the notable increase in cases locally due to the Delta variant of COVID-19, several changes will go into effect regarding campus repopulation. As the Delta variant is significantly more infectious than previous variants of COVID-19 the need to reduce potential exposures will be critical in curbing further spread.
Due to recent changes to guidelines in regards to masking by the CDC, CDPH, and Humboldt County Public Health, and the notable increase in cases locally due to the Delta variant of COVID-19, several changes will go into effect regarding campus events and policies.

In this message: CSU’s COVID-19 Immunization Requirement for Fall
The California State University (CSU) announced this week that it will require faculty, staff, and students who are accessing campus facilities at any university location for the Fall semester to be immunized against COVID-19.
The California State University (CSU) announced today that it will require faculty, staff, and students who are accessing campus facilities at any university location for the Fall semester to be immunized against COVID-19.
Humboldt State University has adopted a proactive testing and masking policy to minimize exposure to COVID-19 within the campus community.
Conforming its mask requirements with California Department of Public Health and CDC, Cal/OSHA has approved new rules that fully vaccinated people do not need to wear a mask while indoors at a workplace. Unvaccinated people will need to remain masked indoors.
However, this policy change is not yet in effect at Humboldt State University.
Humboldt State will align its policy with Cal/OSHA’s new rules and with policies and processes that are being developed by the California State University.
HSU’s Student Recreation Center is open to the campus community starting today, Monday - Friday, 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Capacity is limited to 50 people and SRC West will remain closed.
Cleaning and sanitization policies are strictly monitored and enforced, and face coverings must be worn indoors at all times, even if you are fully vaccinated.
As the State of California prepares to ease restrictions on wearing masks starting June 15, the campus community is reminded that Humboldt State and all workplaces in California are subject to current Cal/OSHA rules.
Based on Cal/OSHA standards, staff, faculty, and students must still wear face coverings while indoors on campus and outdoors anytime you cannot maintain a 6 foot distance from others—even if you are fully vaccinated.
