SJSU is committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of our students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the communities we serve. As part of our strategy to safeguard the health and safety of all, we are implementing mandatory testing for SJSU employees, auxiliary employees, volunteers and other unpaid appointments who access campus and other university facilities.
At this time, for represented employees, only those included in Unit 8 (SUPA) and all CSUEU units (2, 5, 7 and 9) are subject to this testing requirement; other unions are still engaged in the meet and confer process. CSUEU and SUPA employees are required to undergo mandatory testing as are unrepresented employees.
Testing will begin the week of August 23 and will occur on campus--or at off-campus worksites, if applicable--at no cost on a weekly basis. Individuals who provide proof that they are fully vaccinated will not be required to undergo testing.
“Fully vaccinated” means you received, at least 14 days prior, either the second dose in a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series or a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccines must be:
- FDA approved;
- have an emergency use authorization from the FDA; or,
- for individuals fully vaccinated outside the United States, be listed for emergency use by the World Health Organization (WHO).
“Proof” of fully vaccinated status will consist of a vaccination card or other appropriate documentation showing details of vaccination. For those vaccinated in California, vaccination records may be accessed at
Digital COVD-19 Vaccine Record. While you may register medical or religious exemptions to vaccination at this time, this will
not exempt you from testing as you will be considered unvaccinated.
