Campus Entry
You are not required to wear a face mask on our campuses, but doing so can reduce the spread of respiratory infections, including COVID-19, according to the L.A. County Department of Public Health.
Reporting Requirements
STUDENTS – Students DO NOT need to notify the college if they test positive for COVID-19 or experience symptoms. This requirement was rescinded by the L.A. County Department of Public Health effective Feb. 3, 2025. As with other respiratory illnesses, students who are ill should stay home and recover.
EMPLOYEES – Employees MUST CONTINUE to notify the college. Employees who test positive for COVID-19 or experience symptoms should contact the COVID-19 Compliance Team at covid@canyons.edu. The team will perform contact tracing and determine potential exposures. For questions about medical leaves or workplace accommodations, contact Miranda Zamudio in Human Resources at (661) 362-3423 or miranda.zamudio@canyons.edu.
