COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement Suspended
On October 26, 2022, the San Mateo County Community College District Board of Trustees suspended the COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement (Board Policy 2.90), effective immediately. The District no longer requires COVID-19 vaccination documentation or medical/religious exemptions for any individual. Employees, students, and the broader community may now access district facilities and in-person services regardless of vaccination status. Please remove any COVID vaccination attestation or requirement messaging from email signatures, websites, and any other communication channels.
SMCCCD continues to recommend staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, including boosters regardless of risk factors. To schedule an appointment, visit myturn.ca.gov. For additional information, visit the Return to Campus site.
