HSU’s Information Technology Services has been working hard to help the campus switch to alternate modes of instruction, and a survey sent to faculty and students on Friday has helped guide the response.

ITS has also launched a new website with resources for working from home.

Dear Campus Community: Over the last week, I have had the privilege of observing the amazing work of so many people in their efforts to assist others. The work by all of you to not only protect yourself, but to care for your family and our students is beyond remarkable. We are a very caring Lumberjack Family and I thank you.

Humboldt State University is working to maintain as much flexibility as possible for student employees, while also attempting to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19.

Based on guidelines from the California State University system, student employees are expected to continue reporting to work as long as the campus is open, they are scheduled to work, and work is available to be performed. Student employees may be allowed to telecommute if their work can be done remotely. 

Humboldt State has suspended all non-essential travel for the remainder of the Spring semester consistent with CSU guidelines intended to reduce the spread of COVID-19.  As a result, our office would like to offer some guidance on how to cancel trips through Concur and Accounts Payable.

HSU leadership has been working on steps to combat the spread of COVID-19 and keep our campus community safe. The following is effective immediately.

Based on new guidelines from the State of California, all CSU employees 65 and older or with underlying health issues that make them more vulnerable to COVID-19 must not come to campus and are advised to practice self-isolation. 

This new guidance is effective immediately. California’s governor asked today that individuals in these categories self-isolate. 

Humboldt State University is aware of recent K-12 school closures in our region in response to COVID-19, and we are closely following discussions about the possibility of other school closures. Similar decisions are being made throughout California and around the country.

• All non-essential HSU events of all sizes are cancelled on and off campus.

• Organizers are encouraged to cancel meetings, or convert them to teleconference, if possible.

• Practice social distancing at all times.

• HSU remains open for operations. 

• All classes are cancelled on March 23-25.

• Classes will be taught in alternative modes starting March 26 to April 17.

• The campus will remain open and all student services will be available.
