Question: I am a fully remote student or employee, what are my testing requirements?
Answer: Fully remote students and employees are exempt from asymptomatic campus testing requirements. If you are fully remote but need to come to campus, you are encouraged to conduct a PCR COVID-19 test 48 hours before arriving on campus as well as on the day you arrive. Remember, you are not required to conduct a PCR test if you have had COVID-19 in the last 90 days.
Question: I am a fully remote student – do I need to fill out a Remote Form?
Answer: Yes, students who are not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated who are engaging in fully remote studies should
visit the UC San Diego Services and Support portal to fill out a Remote Form. This Remote Form will ensure you remain compliant with the UC COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
If you are a fully vaccinated student, you do not need to complete this form.
Question: My campus card is not functioning at test kit vending machines. What should I do?
Answer: Please review the list of
compatible campus ID cards for COVID-19 test kit vending machines. If you do not have one of these cards, you can still schedule a COVID-19 test at the Price Center or one of the Health drive-up locations. You do not need money or a balance on the compatible campus ID card in order to use it for the test kit vending machines.
If you are still encountering issues with your ID card, we recommended that you reach out to the
Campus Card Office to look into the issue.
