Updates on Winter Quarter
COVID-19 protocol in winter quarter remains similar to fall guidelines, with one change: The daily self-screener is no longer required, but remains an option for all students to monitor their health and well-being. Symptomatic testing remains available for students on campus; off-campus testing resources are also available. Free masks will continue to be offered on campus.
COVID-19 Testing Resources
Find off-campus testing resources throughout San Luis Obispo County. At-home tests are also widely available at local pharmacies and the Cal Poly Pharmacy.
If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, contact your health care provider or find a testing site in the community.
