Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I need to wear a face mask while working on campus? What kind do I need to wear?

Faculty and staff must wear surgical masks or higher-level PPE such as N95 respirators or KN95 and KF94 masks while indoors on campus. This is required by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Surgical masks and higher-level PPE offer greater protection than cloth masks.

Surgical masks are located in dispensers throughout campus. N95 respirators are available upon request. You can request an N95 respirator on the Risk Management and EHS website using the N95 Respirator Request Form (Online).

Masks are required indoors. Masks are strongly recommended outdoors in crowded settings. Learn more about face masks.

Are COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters required?

Yes. The CSU requires COVID-19 vaccinations. This means that Cal State LA faculty, staff and students must certify that they are vaccinated and boosted or request a medical or religious exemption. The requirement is mandatory. Find more information in our COVID-19 Vaccination FAQ.
