COVID-19 Information for Students

The San Diego Community College District passed a resolution authorizing the Chancellor to develop and implement a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for students, staff and faculty. We remain committed in providing a high-quality learning experience for every student while keeping the health and safety of our community in mind.
San Diego Community College District has implemented the following:
- Proof of Vaccination for Classes on Campus: San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) will require all students to present proof of full COVID-19 vaccination (per CDC guidelines) in order to enroll in face-to-face (in-person) classes.
- Proof of Vaccination for Student Services Appointments: In-person services to students, prospective students, and the public reasonably expected to last 15 minutes or more will be conducted by appointment. All student appointments require verification of vaccination.
- Face Masks Still Required on Campus: All employees, students and campus visitors must continue to wear masks on campus regardless of vaccination status.
- COVID-19 Testing Requirements: Students with an approved medical exemption will be required to comply with COVID-19 testing requirements. Students must test within seventy-two (72) hours of class meetings. Students who fail to comply with testing requirements will not be permitted to attend class.
- Effective Fall 2022: Due to the efficacy of boosters against COVID-19 and the Omicron variant, SDCCD will require students to receive the booster vaccine. Please consult the CDC website for information on when you should get your booster shot.
