SDSU Remains Open
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the university has never closed, and we do not have any intention to do so. Many essential services continue, including our instructional and research activities, housing students in residence, including those in isolation and quarantine, and other services that cannot be suspended nor conducted remotely. However, the campus population is limited. Individuals should not be coming to campus if they are not in one of the authorized groups. Recreational facilities and outdoor spaces are not open for general use by unauthorized campus visitors.
SDSU Flex allows for instruction to vary across in-person, hybrid, and virtual delivery so that our campus community can be responsive to unpredictable changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as we address cases within our student population.
SDSU will not close based on a predetermined number of positive cases or positivity rate based on the number of COVID-19 cases within our community. We are, however, monitoring global metrics within our community, and others in partnership with HHSA. Each is context-specific and nuanced and include the rate of individual COVID-19 clusters, shifts in public health orders, regional case counts in the San Diego and Imperial counties, the growth rate and number of individuals who are in isolation or in quarantine due to a close contact who tested positive, or our ability to ensure adequate essential serves, to include housing, custodial, and facilities support. These metrics are not absolute nor exhaustive, but all are important.
