Masks: UCLA recommends well-fitting masks in all facilities. Outdoor masking is optional for all.
COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement: The University of California requires student trainees enrolled in primary certificated education programs (ie. phlebotomy, EMT, and paramedic) to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including a booster dose, to access University facilities and programs. Students who cannot provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination may experience delays in clinical or field placement, extended completion times and the inability to meet course requirements for certification. Limited allowance for medical and religious exemption is reviewed with supporting documentation.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some previously scheduled on-site lectures may be delivered online in accordance with UCLA and public health guidance. Required precautions may change as the situation evolves.
