North Village Housing Updates

Q. I am living at North Village, is there anything I need to do before my scheduled move-in appointment?

We ask all students living in North Village residence halls to test for COVID-19 24-hours before arriving on campus for your scheduled appointment. During your scheduled appointment, you will be required to test again. Testing site location and instructions will be emailed to you prior to your move-in appointment.

Q. I will be living in North Village, what must I do in relation to the COVID-19 vaccination requirement prior to move-in?

North Village residents are to be fully updated with their vaccination and must complete the self-certification form prior to their move-in date, declaring to having received their vaccination and providing all of the requested information. If you do not self-certify your move-in date might be delayed.

North Village residents who wish to request a medical or religious exemption must complete the self-certification form declaring that they intend to submit a request for an exemption prior to their official move-in date. North Village residents applying for an exemption will be permitted to move-in although they are pending vaccination exemption approval. Those seeking an exemption or have an approved exemption must adhere to campus protocols. Residents who self-attest their intent to request an exemption will have 2-3 weeks to clear exemption and receive official approval to remain in on-campus housing.

Q. Will I be required to be immunized against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 to live on campus?

Yes, Sacramento State, Office of the President, initially announced on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for “all members of the campus community.” To view the official announcement please visit our Presidential Communications page.

On December 22, 2022, it was announced that the CSU has updated the Vaccination Policy, requiring all students to receive their COVID-19 booster by February 28, 2022 (or six months after receiving their final dose, whichever is later).

For information on how to schedule an appointment to receive your vaccine or booster, please visit our Get Vaccinated/Boosted resource page.

Q. I am unvaccinated or partially vaccinated, and I test positive for COVID-19 at move-in? What happens?

Anyone who tests positive upon check-in will be asked to return home to isolate and return to campus after 10 days. Room and board for isolated students will be prorated to account for their absence.

Q. I will be living at Hornet Commons, will I be required to be immunized against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19?
