Update on Campus Access
As we work to maintain operations, we need to take measures in light of new federal guidelines to promote the health and safety of these employees.
Effective immediately, the only employees permitted on campus are those who have been specifically designated as essential by their managers/appropriate administrators. The University will provide these employees with documentation authorizing their presence on campus, either in the form of an identification badge or a letter from HRDI. Employees who come to campus infrequently to perform an essential function must request access to campus from their managers/appropriate administrators. If approved, these employees can go to the Office of Environmental Health & Safety to receive a single-use pass to be on campus for a specific and limited period of time.
While on campus, all employees are highly encouraged to wear face coverings and gloves and also to continue to maintain social distancing, wash hands, practice cough/sneeze etiquette, and all other recommended preventative measures. The University will provide face coverings and gloves for those employees visiting campus who do not have their own.
We’ve updated the faculty/staff FAQs on the main campus coronavirus site at http://coronavirus.fullerton.edu/
