Dear Pacificans,

We are excited to welcome you back to campus! As we enter the new academic year, the COVID-19 Council would like to share the following updates and protocols that will be in place to protect the health, safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and visitors.

COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements (no changes from prior requirements)

• As a reminder, Pacific requires all students and employees to be up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations. This includes primary doses of vaccines, as well as boosters that are recommended for individuals based on their eligibility.
• Students who have questions about all of the university’s immunization requirements can find information online or contact Student Health Services.
• Employees who have questions about reporting vaccination status can find information on Pacific’s COVID-19 Vaccination page or contact Human Resources.
• To find vaccination locations or sign up for an appointment, visit California’s MyTurn.

Facial Coverings (no changes from prior recommendations)

• At this time, facial coverings at Pacific are optional unless you are visiting health care settings or have been exposed to COVID-19.

If You Have Symptoms/Direct Exposure

• Check your symptoms daily.
• Test and report positive cases through the university’s new COVID-19 reporting form. Further instructions will be sent to you by email upon submission.
• If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home.
