Health and Safety

All CSUN students, employees, or visitors coming onto campus are required to complete the appropriate health screening survey each day before arriving at the CSUN campus. If you are not cleared, do not come to campus; the survey page will provide you with next steps.

• Student Health Screening Survey
• Employee Health Screening Survey
• Visitor Health Screening Survey

All student employees will be required to review videos and other training materials before returning to campus.

Vaccination Information

As directed by the Chancellor of the CSU, all new, returning and continuing students enrolling for in-person classes must be fully vaccinated or be granted a medical or religious exemption.

• If you’ve not yet submitted your COVID-19 Vaccine Certification, it’s imperative that you complete the process today. Please visit this page immediately to certify your COVID-19 vaccination status or request a medical or religious exemption.

Vaccination plays one of the most vital roles in keeping our campus and community healthy, and we encourage all who can be vaccinated to do so as soon as possible. If you haven’t already received your vaccine, now is the time to get your COVID-19 vaccination!

• Appointments are free and available through myturn.ca.gov
• All students must complete the certification process as soon as possible. Students still in the process of becoming fully vaccinated should complete the certification once full vaccination is achieved. Students who are not planning to access campus or participate in CSUN programs off campus this fall are also able to make that declaration. However, your plans may change, so it’s much better to become fully vaccinated as soon as possible and to certify your fully vaccinated status, allowing you to access the CSUN campus or participate in off-campus CSUN programs or activities.
• In order to return to campus, you must complete your COVID-Vaccine Certification. You will not be able to register in classes for spring semester until you complete this process. If you have not already completed this process, please visit the COVID-19 Vaccine Certification now for step-by-step instructions on completing the process to avoid a hold in your spring enrollment, which is opening soon.

Login to the myNorthridge Portal to provide your vaccination certification.

• Declaration of full vaccination against COVID-19 (Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson/Janssen vaccine, the last required dose of which having been administered at least 14 calendar days prior to the date of declaration), or
• Declaration of (request for) medical exemption, including documentation from a certified or licensed healthcare professional, or
• Declaration of (request for) religious exemption, or
• Declaration that the student does not intend to access the CSUN campus or CSUN programs off campus; and that if the student’s plans change, they will submit a revised Certification in advance of any such access.

Each student submitting a declaration of COVID-19 vaccination must attest that the information provided is accurate and truthful and verify that at CSUN’s request, proof of vaccination will be promptly provided. Each week, CSUN will request proof of vaccination from at least 50 randomly selected students. All students are encouraged to voluntarily upload proof of vaccination when submitting the declaration of full vaccination.

Students who must come to campus for academic or non-academic activities or employment before being fully vaccinated or who have an exemption from vaccination, must follow the testing process described below.

All information submitted through the MyHealth portal is confidential and accessible to Student Health Center and university personnel with a required need to know.

To begin the certification process, please log into the MyNorthridge Portal and follow the directions to complete the attestation and certification. To review the student COVID-19 process, described with helpful step-by-step screen shots, please visit COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements. If you have questions, please email shcinfo@csun.edu.

Reporting Concerns

Concerns of non-compliance of safety protocols may be reported to Environmental Health and Safety at ehs@csun.edu or 818-677-2401.

Cleaning and Disinfection

The University continues to provide custodial services during both the day shift (7 AM–4 PM) and swing shift (4 PM-12 AM) to clean, sanitize, disinfect high touch surfaces*, respond to emergent custodial calls, and ensure stocking on Do-It-Yourself (DIY) disinfection supplies to public spaces, classrooms, and laboratories.

The University cleaning and disinfection procedures for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) are directly aligned with the current cleaning and disinfection recommendations from the following sources:

• Los Angeles County Department of Public Health http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/coronavirus/docs/protection/CleaningMatrix.pdf
• Centers for Disease Control https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/disinfecting-building-facility.html
• Disinfecting Agents, EPA https://www.epa.gov/coronavirus/about-list-n-disinfectants-coronavirus-covid-19-0
• CALOSHA https://www.dir.ca.gov/title8/3205.html

Current guidelines indicate that when no people with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 are known to have been in a space, cleaning once a day is usually enough to sufficiently remove virus that may be on surfaces and help maintain a healthy facility. If there has been a sick person or someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in your facility within the last 24 hours, each space will be cleaned and disinfected using enhanced cleaning protocols, focusing on the disinfection of high touch surfaces*; once a thorough cleaning and disinfection have been completed, the space can be reoccupied.

All employees involved with cleaning operations have been trained in proper cleaning techniques and tasks, including when to use personal protective equipment (PPE), what PPE is necessary, how to properly don (put on), use, and doff (take off) PPE, and how to properly dispose of PPE. Additionally, employees are trained on the hazards of the cleaning chemicals used in the workplace in accordance with OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard.

* Examples of high-touch surfaces include: doorknobs, light switches, handles, stair rails, elevator buttons, toilets, faucets, sink counters, paper towel/soap dispensers, and tab-arm chairs, etc.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Operations to Mitigate SARS-CoV-2

In response to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) the University employed a third-party CSU approved Mechanical Engineering firm, P2S Engineering, to individually visually inspect every building air handler and provide recommendations to ensure the highest feasible mitigations that could be enacted consistent with agency guidance for the mitigations of SARS-CoV-2:

• Centers for Disease Control, https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/ventilation.html
• American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Guidance for Building Operations During the COVID-19 Pandemic, https://www.ashrae.org/file%20library/technical%20resources/ashrae%20journal/2020journaldocuments/72-74_ieq_schoen.pdf

Mitigation measures enacted include:

• Upgraded all campus HVAC system filters and media to minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) 13 filters for the capture of airborne viruses. These are the same filters used in medical facilities.
• Increased the introduction of outdoor air to the highest degree possible.
• HVAC systems were adjusted to increase total airflow to occupied spaces to the maximum extent possible.
• Turned off any demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) controls that reduce air supply based on occupancy or temperature during occupied hours.
• Flushing of building HVAC systems with maximum outside airflow for two hours before and after the building is occupied.

As of Fall 2020 all of the above mitigation measures have been enacted for Campus buildings to the greatest extent feasible.

Classroom and Laboratory Guidelines

The campus has conducted assessments of laboratories and lecture spaces that may be used to support necessary teaching and research activities which cannot be conducted virtually. Some selected rooms will be provided enhanced synchronous video broadcast technology.

Other Things We Are Doing

• Signs to educate and promote health and safety have been placed across campus.
• Implemented an online screening survey for daily clearance.
• Providing needed sanitization supplies for hands, surfaces, work areas, restrooms.

CSUN cares about your health and safety and continues to track reported COVID-19 cases among members of our campus community, including students, faculty, and staff. If someone on campus is reported to have COVID-19, CSUN will work with Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to identify if they have had any close contacts while here. Close contacts are persons who have shared the same indoor airspace with a COVID-infected individual for 15 minutes or more. If so, CSUN will confidentially notify these close contacts, and guide them accordingly. Fortunately, CDC-recommended preventive measures such as frequent handwashing, physical distancing, and face coverings can help to protect you from COVID transmission.

CSUN Covid-19 Cases and Dashboard

CSUN shares information about COVID-19 cases reported to CSUN by an individual or by a public health official. However, to preserve patient confidentiality, CSUN does not report identifiable names, affiliations or health conditions of students, faculty or staff who test positive for COVID-19. The university will also not disclose the specific location of the individual who was infected for privacy reasons. If needed, all campus locations possibly exposed will be appropriately cleaned and disinfected before reopening. Your best protection from COVID-19 is to maintain healthy practices such as physical distancing, wearing a face covering and washing your hands frequently as the best methods to lower your risk when you are outside your home.

If you are diagnosed with COVID-19 by your doctor, even if you haven’t been on campus, please complete the relevant reporting form:
