COVID Policy
Do your part to ensure the safety of our USF community. Students must meet the COVID-19 vaccination requirements by August 1st, and complete the COVID-19 course by August 23rd.
Monkey Pox Advisory
We are dedicated to ensuring the safety of our students, staff and faculty as we monitor the current state of monkeypox. USF will follow current CDC and local DPH guidance and recommendations when it comes to suspected or confirmed cases.
Per the SF Department of Public Health, all suspected monkeypox cases must be reported within one working day to the SFDPH Communicable Disease Control, even if it has not been confirmed because it has a longer incubation period of 1-2 weeks. Please email to monkeypox@sfdph.org for further information and guidance. 24/7 reporting of suspect monkeypox by telephone is no longer required and is not the preferred method. More general information can be found through the SFDPH website, including about vaccinations.
