Aug. 23–Sept. 3: Virtual instruction only
Like last Fall, stringent health and safety protocols remain in place at Cal Poly Humboldt, including mandatory vaccinations for students, staff, and faculty, plus universal masking and virtual instruction for the first two weeks of the semester followed by limited in-person classes.

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.
