Campus Ready

• In order to best protect the campus community, proof of COVID-19 vaccination (including a booster shot) or a negative test result will be required for any visitor who is over the age of 12 accessing indoor and outdoor campus events unless they are staff, faculty, or a student. 
• Anyone inviting off-campus visitors or guests should inform the invitee of all requirements.
• Complete a wellness self-check prior to coming to campus and/or the meeting.
• Do not attend if you have symptoms of COVD-19 or suspect you have been exposed to COVID-19.
• Wear face masks indoors, regardless of vaccination or test status, and also in outdoor settings if you cannot maintain 6 feet social distance.
• Follow Humboldt County and CDC health and safety guidelines.
• There is currently a moratorium on food or beverages at events of all sizes.

In order to best protect the campus community, proof of COVID-19 vaccination (including a booster shot) or a negative test result will be required for any visitor who is over the age of 12 accessing campus events, meetings, seminars, etc. unless they are staff, faculty, or a student. 

[PLEASE NOTE: students and employees are not required to show proof of vaccination or negative test results because under University requirements, they have been either fully vaccinated or, if granted an exemption, are getting tested regularly for COVID-19.]

Attendees and visitors will have the option of showing:

• A Humboldt staff, faculty, or student ID 
• OR proof of vaccination 
• OR proof of a negative test result within 72 hours of arrival (arrangements for acceptance of negative rapid tests must be made with the host department prior to coming onto campus)

Regardless of vaccination status or test status, all attendees or visitors age 2 and older must wear a mask at all times while on campus. 

Event hosts are responsible for informing off-campus visitors and guests of these requirements. They are also responsible for checking for proof of ID and vaccination or negative test results.

Here is the suggested language you should include in any event postings: 

Any department or individual hosting a campus visitor will be responsible for ensuring that campus policy is being followed. Events with fewer than 50 participants wearing masks at all times do not have to physically check the status of their guests. However, any event, meeting, gathering that has more than 50 participants and/or involves an activity that requires unmasking is required to identify someone in the host department who will be responsible for viewing the proof of compliance for the visitors. Proof of vaccination or negative tests results only need to be shown to the identified hosts. No documentation is needed to be kept or archived. If you have any questions please reach out to risk-managment@humboldt.edu.

Here is the suggested language you should include in any invitations:

In order to ensure the continued safety of our campus community, Cal Poly Humboldt asks all visitors to campus to wear masks at all times. Additionally, please be prepared to present a vaccination card with proof of initial vaccination and booster or a negative COVID-19 test result from the last 72 hours, if requested by Humboldt staff. We appreciate your commitment to supporting Cal Poly Humboldt in maintaining a safe environment for our students and employees. Should this requirement be a concern, please reach out to me as soon as possible.

What if my child is under the age of 12?

Your child is always welcome to visit Cal Poly Humboldt. When entering a Humboldt facility, inform those at the door of your child's age. Your child will be required to mask during the duration of the event if they are over the age of 2.

What can I show as a proof of vaccination?

You can show any of the following:

• Physical CDC Vaccination Card for COVID-19 or a photo/screenshot of your vaccination card
• State of California Digital COVID-19 Vaccination Record 
• A printout from any state health department or physician's office with your vaccination information stated clearly

What do I show as proof of a negative test?

Any photo/screenshot that shows the date of the test result and the date the test was taken or a printout of an official email from a lab with the test results and testing date clearly printed.
