Important:
Due to the ongoing surge in COVID-19 cases and clean-up of storm damage on campus, CGU is operating with modified in-person operations until February 7, 2022. All classes will be fully online until this date. Learn more about the return to campus.
Travel guidance is changing in response to the Omicron variant. Please be sure to check the Los Angeles County travel guidance for the latest information and see the Personal Travel section below for CGU specific information.
Claremont Graduate University’s campus has reopened, but please note that many classes are meeting in an online flex format. Course modality and meeting times are noted in the class schedule.
The health and safety of our community continues to be the foremost priority. CGU will continue to follow the guidance for higher education provided by the Los Angeles County of Public Health.
Vaccinations against COVID are required for all CGU community members. The few members of our community with approved vaccine exemptions will participate in an ongoing weekly testing program. Free COVID-19 vaccines are available from the Student Health Services at TCCS for all CGU community members.
All CGU community members coming to campus must fill out the daily health check form. If you are feeling ill, please refrain from coming to campus.
Thank you for your help in keeping the CGU community safe.
For enrolled students – If you do not see your class in Canvas, please ensure you are registered for the class, and contact the faculty member if you need assistance.
Faculty Research Travel
CGU is committed to supporting essential travel that advances faculty members’ research, education, and professional opportunities. At the same time, faculty travel during the pandemic poses unique personal and social responsibilities and logistical challenges. As global citizens, we each have a responsibility to the communities we visit and live within, and we are each responsible for the impact of our actions. This checklist is designed to help you make informed, responsible decisions, prior to traveling. Completion of this checklist is required for receiving reimbursement for university-sponsored travel.
When you have successfully completed and signed your checklist, a copy will be emailed to you automatically.
Please see the Faculty Travel Checklist and Travel Registry.
If you plan on travelling outside the United States during the winter break, please coordinate with your supervisor or faculty advisor in advance to accommodate the quarantine requirement upon your return.
As a reminder, all CGU community members are asked to report a positive COVID-19 test result to Human Resources for potential contract tracing.
We urge all members of our community to consider the potential consequences of personal travel, including:
- Airlines may cancel/limit flights in or out of a country or region.
- The U.S. and other countries may apply additional quarantine measures.
- Countries you visit may decide to implement travel restrictions with very little notice, impacting your ability to return
- Re-entry to the U.S. could be restricted.
- Before your return to campus, CDC guidelines may require you to self-isolate depending on your travel and vaccination status.
- International students and foreign nationals should check their immigration documents before leaving the U.S. If you are unable to return to the U.S. for your classes, your visa status may be impacted.
We encourage anyone who is planning travel to fill out the university’s Travel Registration Form. This will allow CGU to contact you in the event of a significant emergency or changing circumstances related to your travel destination.
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. Everyone is encouraged to follow the health and safety guidelines shared by the CDC and the Public Health Department.
COVID – Preventing Infections
The commitment to the health and safety of our community is paramount. We encourage everyone to continue following guidelines designed to prevent infections.
If you are not feeling well, please stay home and contact your appropriate health care provider.
If you suspect you might be infected with the COVID-19 virus, call your doctor’s office, urgent care, or the emergency room for advice on whether you should seek medical attention. CGU insurance providers have published Remote Visit Information. To minimize the risk of spreading infection, medical facilities want to ensure that they are prepared before you arrive to seek treatment.
