Covid-19 Safety Protocol Information
The health and safety of our campus remain our highest priority, and together we can follow these steps to keep our campus community safe:
DO NOT COME TO CAMPUS IF YOU ARE SICK.
If you have any common symptom of COVID-19, Do Not Come to Campus except to visit the drop-in COVID-19 testing site.
COVID-19 testing at our Gilroy Campus (Gym Hallway)

Covid-19 testing is closed November 24th for the campus holiday.
