While face coverings are no longer required in most settings, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, you are encouraged to use them, especially when in large groups.
Face Covering Requirements
If you forgot to bring your mask to campus, you can request one by calling Facilities Services Work Control at (310) 243-3804.
Employee Policy: All CSUDH employees are required to wear a well-fitting medical grade mask: surgical mask, KN95s or higher-level respirator such as an N95 filtering facepiece respirator in the required areas on campus. This is in accordance with the L.A. County Department of Public Health’s Jan. 5 upgraded requirements for employees [PDF].
These medical grade masks can be acquired from the locations listed below or employees can bring their own supply with them to campus. Cloth face masks will not be allowed while in the workplace.
KN95 masks are individually packaged and will be distributed without the need to sign for or receive a training document. Both KN95s and surgical masks will be given out in increments of five to ten masks at a time. If departments/colleges would like a supply at their location to distribute as needed, the department manager/administrator can request up to two boxes at the distribution locations below. Larger orders need to go through the campus warehouse.
Since N95 masks are considered respirators, these will not be distributed by the warehouse. N95s need to be picked up by the individual who intends to use them so they can sign for them and receive a training document.
These approved face coverings are now available to employees (including student workers) in the following locations from Monday through Friday during normal business hours.
Location | Hours | Surgical Mask* | KN95* | N95 |
Student Health Center | 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. | X | X | X |
