A Fresh Start
Two years into the pandemic, our community has proven how resilient it can be. Public health guidelines continue to evolve, and it’s more important than ever that you stay informed on how to keep yourself and your fellow Mustangs healthy. Together, we can make spring quarter a success.

Free, On-Campus Testing
Cal Poly's testing site is open in UU221 on Sundays-Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. throughout spring quarter. Asymptomatic students, faculty and staff can make an appointment and get a six-digit testing ID an hour before each test. There are also special hours available for swing shift employees. Students and employees who are not fully vaccinated are required to test every seven days.
Face Coverings
Face coverings are not required in most indoor situations on campus for students, employees or visitors, regardless of vaccination status. Masks remain mandatory in all health care settings, including COVID-19 testing sites. Face coverings are no longer required on public transit. People can choose to wear a mask indoors. N-95 masks are available for free at the University Union, Rec Center and Disability Resource Center.
Vaccines
Being fully vaccinated includes getting a COVID-19 booster, when eligible. Students and employees can report their booster status through the COVID-19 tab of the portal. Rite Aid will offer free COVID-19 vaccine clinics on campus July 15, August 5 and September 16.
