As of June 1, 2023, the student requirement to report positive COVID-19 testing HAS ENDED. Staff and Faculty still need to report to HR.
Stay home if you are sick, inform your instructors if you are absent from class, and contact the Student Health Center at 714-714-7705 or your healthcare provider for a medical evaluation. It is your responsibility to contact your professors and ask for accommodation if needed.
If you test positive for COVID-19, take the following safety measures to help keep yourself and others safe:
- See a healthcare provider if you have symptoms to determine treatment options.
- Isolate for 5 days, Day 1 is the first full day after your symptoms started or following your positive COVID test.
- Wear a well-fitting surgical mask or respirator (N95, KN95, KF94) around others indoors for 10 days.
- Inform your contacts and take precautions such as:
- Do not travel.
- Wash your hands often.
- Cover coughs and sneezes and wash your hands immediately after.
- Use a separate bathroom at home.
- Disinfect “high touch” surfaces at least once a day.
- Improve ventilation at home.
- Do not share household items such as dishes, utensils, and towels.
- Monitor your symptoms and call 911 immediately if you have:
- Difficulty breathing.
- Pressure or pain in your chest.
- Bluish or grayish lips, face, or nails.
- Confusion or difficulty waking.
The Student Health Center does perform COVID-19 antigen testing by appointment only as needed for eligible, symptomatic students that have been evaluated by the medical provider. Same-day appointments are limited. We do NOT do COVID-19 Testing for travel or non-symptomatic purposes.
Take Home COVID-19 Tests are available for free at the Student Health Center while supplies last.
