Updates on Fall Quarter
COVID-19 protocol has changed in meaningful ways in fall quarter. The on-campus saliva testing site has closed, but students with symptoms can continue to seek medical care at Campus Health and Wellbeing. Students and employees who are not fully vaccinated won't be required to participate in ongoing testing during fall quarter.
COVID-19 Testing
Many testing options exist for those with or without symptoms. Students experiencing COVID-19 symptoms can seek medical care at Campus Health and Wellbeing. There are also testing locations in the community, and at-home tests available for purchase at local pharmacies and on campus.
I tested positive. Now what?
Cal Poly provides support throughout the isolation process.
Report Your Result
If you test positive, be prepared to isolate in your residence. Report your result on your daily screener and follow guidance in the Student Quarantine and Isolation Guide.

The Campus Pass System
All currently enrolled students accessing campus for any reason are required to complete the self-screening daily to track any symptoms and report a positive at-home test. When you complete your screening, you’ll receive a campus pass good only for that day. Be prepared to show the pass throughout fall quarter to access facilities across campus.
