Beginning Wednesday, Humboldt State University will require any visitor over the age of 12 to provide proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test result  for all indoor and outdoor campus events.

HSU students and employees are exempt from providing both forms of proof because under the university's requirements, they have been fully vaccinated or, if granted an exemption, are regularly tested for the COVID-19 virus.

Attendees have to either show an HSU staff, faculty or student ID or proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID test within the last 72 hours to enter events.

Regardless of vaccination status or test status, all attendees 2 years old and older must wear a mask at all times while on campus except in designated dining areas while actively eating or drinking.
