Pacific's Response to COVID-19

Pacific continues to monitor conditions around COVID-19 in our communities and regions. As we have throughout the pandemic, we continue to follow guidance of our public health organizations and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration emergency temporary standard.

With the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and community at the forefront of Pacific's response to COVID-19, please review the Fall 2023 requirements and updates below before coming to campus.

COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements

All Pacific non-health professionals and employees are not required to have COVID-19 vaccinations.  Enrolled Health Sciences professionals are required to have COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster.

COVID-19 vaccinations will be monitored through the Student Health Center in conjunction with all other immunization requirements.

Facial Coverings

Pacific students and employees are expected to follow all local requirements regarding facial coverings. 

The California Department of Public Health and the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention also recommend facial coverings and other precautions based upon COVID-19 Community Level. 

Facial coverings at Pacific are optional. They are mandatory for close contacts who have been exposed to COVID-19.

During this period of increased respiratory disease incidences, facial coverings are strongly encouraged in indoor settings.
