Coronavirus (COVID-19) Vaccination
Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination will not be required by students to apply for the 2023 Spring Term.
Effective October 11, 2022 at the Board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to suspend Board Policy (BP) 5215 COVID-19 Vaccine Requirement for students and BP 7325 SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Program for employees, and to authorize the Chancellor to revive this policy as public health guidelines require.
District COVID Prevention Protocol (see below):
Rancho Santiago Community College District is taking precautionary measures in accordance with public health officials in an effort to protect the health and safety of our students and employees. It is imperative that each of us does our part and takes individual responsibility to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 by complying with state and local directives.

Mask and Safety
In light of declining case rates and hospitalizations, effective April 18, 2022, the District and Santa Ana College will adopt a new indoor mask policy and move from requiring masks indoors to strongly recommended, regardless of your vaccination and booster status. The California Department of Public Health provides detailed information on exemptions to the mask mandate.
Santa Ana College continues to implement measures to foster a safe learning environment for everyone on campus. The Health and Wellness Center will continue to follow the county health ordinance which requires mask mandates in high risk settings including healthcare, centers and clinics.
