Maintaining a Mask-Friendly Campus 

Mask-wearing and hand-washing are important strategies to help protect yourself during respiratory virus season. Masking is recommended for at-risk individuals in all indoor settings. Beginning November 1, 2023 through March 30, 2024, masking is required for all individuals in the Student Wellness Center.

What to know when entering the Student Wellness Center (SWC) during the Designated Winter Respiratory Virus Period: 

  • Masking is required in the SWC from November 1 through March 31 each year, per Santa Clara County guidelines for healthcare facilities.
  • All individuals entering the SWC, including students, employees, and visitors must observe the masking requirement. Exceptions are outlined in the guidelines.
  • All areas of the SWC, including lobbies, hallways, waiting areas, and the Wellness Lounge are included in this requirement. Exceptions include the SWC employee break room and enclosed administration areas accessible only to SWC employees.
  • Students will be reminded of the masking requirement and encouraged to bring their own masks via email, social media, and signage at the building entry.
  • If a student does not bring one, a mask is available at the SWC front desk to support the student’s use of SWC services in the building.
  • Masks must be worn up upon entry.
