AUGUST 28, 2020

Keeping Toros Informed

To keep the CSUDH community up to date with the latest news and developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the fall semester and campus operations, this newsletter will be providing routine updates throughout the crisis.

New Faculty and Staff Resource Guide

With the campus operating in a primarily virtual mode, it is more vital than ever that faculty and staff are aware of the variety of resources available to CSUDH students. The Division of Student Affairs has updated its Faculty & Staff Resource Guide [PDF] with more contact information, including direct phone numbers, website URLs, and social media accounts. Please use it as a reference as you interact with students this semester.

Reminder: Parking Permits Required

Parking will be strictly enforced in all CSUDH campus parking lots starting Monday, August 31. Please make sure to display a Fall 2020 semester parking permit or daily permit as required.

For students who have in-person classes:

Semester permits can be purchased online by logging in to myCSUDH. Or you may want to consider getting a daily permit for $9/day at a parking lot kiosk. Note: A semester pass may be more economical if you plan to be on campus more than 19 times in the semester.

For employees:

Visit the Parking Department webpage for existing and updated processes in response to COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

For more information, please contact Parking at (310) 243-3725 or by email at parking@csudh.edu.

Student Health Care Access

The Student Health Center (SHC) continues to provide health and wellness services to students this semester through an altered medical model, with most visits conducted virtually by telehealth.

SHS telehealth line: (310) 243-3929
Monday - Friday: 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

A triage nurse will ask a series of questions to determine what kind of appointment needs to be made, and whether an in-person visit is required. Clinical staff are on site from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for scheduled and necessary in-person visits (for example, vaccinations, hands-on exams, or drawing blood).

Flu Shots: A limited number of flu shots were received this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are being reserved for students and will be offered beginning in September. Faculty and staff are encouraged to get their flu shots from their medical providers or local pharmacies.

COVID-19 Reporting

The university has established a COVID-19 reporting hotline for members of the campus to confidentially report COVID-19 positive results or possible exposure.

COVID-19 reporting hotline: (310) 243-2076

Calls will be answered by an HR representative from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Calls received after hours will be returned the following business day. When you call, provide your name, contact information, and the reason you are calling. A member of the COVID-19 response team will be in touch. All information will be kept strictly confidential.

Complete information on COVID reporting is available on the Toros Together site.

Tech Loaner Program

Tech loaner pick-up is now by appointment only. Those without an appointment will be turned away.

To make an appointment, visit techloaner.csudh.edu, and enter your campus username and password to verify eligibility. Complete the online form and schedule an appointment. Your confirmation email will include the pick-up location and further instructions.

For questions or concerns, visit User Services or call (310) 243-2500, Option 1.

University Advisement Center

The University Advisement Center offers advising services through virtual office hours. Academic advisors are available to meet with students through online Zoom meetings or phone calls.

UAC Virtual Hours:
Monday: 8 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Tuesday - Thursday: 8 a.m. - 7 p.m.

If you have general questions about advising, contact the University Advisement Center at uac@csudh.edu or (310) 243-3538 during regular business hours.

Financial Aid

Due to the high volume of calls, the Financial Aid Office is experiencing longer wait times. We ask for your patience as they continue to process applications, post financial aid offers, and disburse funds. Please check your student portal regularly for updates. As long as you filed a FAFSA or CA Dream Application and are meeting Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), your Fall classes will not be dropped.

Information From Past Updates

Previous weekly updates, which include information on Financial Aid, the Cashier's Office, food service, library hours, and more, are archived online.
