COVID-19 Dashboard: sPRING 2023
San Diego State University is committed to reporting the number of student, faculty and staff cases of those who have had contact with any university location.
The data below show the number of cases diagnosed for all individuals who have had any direct contact with an SDSU or SDSU Imperial Valley location. Last update: May 18, 2023
During the spring 2023 semester, the dashboard will be updated each Thursday.
SDSU: San Diego Campus
No. of confirmed COVID-19 cases among students with campus access (total since Jan. 17, 2023)
No. of confirmed COVID-19 cases among faculty and staff with campus access (total since Jan. 17, 2023)
Positivity rate for SHS-administered tests in the last 7 days (12 tests have been administered in the last 7 days)
SDSU: Imperial Valley Campus
The data below shows the number of cases diagnosed for all individuals who have had any direct SDSU Imperial Valley campus contact.
No. of positive cases among students (total since Jan. 17, 2023)
No. of positive cases among faculty and staff (total since Jan. 17, 2023 )
Case Notifications
Positive COVID-19 cases among students, faculty, staff and contractors who are physically on campus are documented and reported in accordance with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s (Cal/OSHA) requirements.
Confirming COVID-19 Cases
When SDSU learns of a probable or confirmed case at any SDSU location, the COVID Assessment & Response Team contacts the individual and those known to have been in contact with them. The Assessment & Response Team works to learn more about symptom onset, provide public health guidance for isolation, quarantine and testing, and to appropriately communicate information about the case.
Notification Process
Anyone confirmed as having had direct contact with someone who has tested positive will be notified and told to quarantine if needed based on U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.
To keep the campus community informed of cases, SDSU relies on the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, known commonly as the Clery Act, to guide communications decisions regarding confirmed COVID-19 cases. SDSU will provide notification of positive cases on the COVID-19 Dashboard when 1) a public health agency has confirmed via a COVID-19 test that a member of the community has the virus AND 2) the individual was recently on campus or a university-related instructional site.
SDSU will generally not disclose more specific details about the location of individuals who have been infected for privacy reasons and also because avoiding the physical location does not inherently lower a person's risk of infection; getting vaccinated and maintaining healthy practices, to include washing your hands, are among the best methods to lower your risk.
Health and Safety Guidelines
As announced on July 27, 2021 the California State University (CSU) system, of which SDSU is a part, requires that all members of the campus community get a COVID-19 vaccine in order to access campus facilities. On Dec. 22, 2021 the CSU system announced that all students, faculty and staff (including auxiliary employees) eligible for the COVID-19 booster will be required to have their booster on file in HealtheConnect.
All should also monitor health and well-being daily and avoid coming to work and classes when presenting COVID-19-like symptoms. Campus policy requires these behaviors when on campus or in university facilities.
Please be aware of the symptoms of COVID-19 and do the following:
- If you become ill, you are not to come to campus until you are well. We ask that you do this for your own wellbeing and for the health and safety of others.
- Contact your healthcare provider or a medical facility if you do not feel well and seek testing with any COVID-like symptoms.
- Those who have been exposed are advised to test three to five days after exposure. Individuals who are unvaccinated and are a close contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 should remain home and report their exposure to the university.
- All faculty, staff and students should report positive COVID-19 cases or exposure concerns to SDSU — whether you test positive, or you know of a student, faculty or staff member who has tested positive or is experiencing symptoms — using the online reporting form. Doing so allows the university to ensure that students and employees receive appropriate support, and others are informed if they were in close contact with the individual who tested positive.
- Employees who become ill should remain home, inform their supervisors and contact Human Resources by emailing [email protected] SDSU Research Foundation employees should email [email protected]. Associated Students employees should contact Human Resources at [email protected]. Aztec Shops employees should inform their supervisors and contact Human Resources at 619-594-7501 or 619-594-7602, or by emailing [email protected]
- All supervisors who become aware of a COVID-19 case should report the situation to their dean and associate dean, Associate Vice President or Vice President.

Individuals will be contacted after submitting information and be provided with information on resources, interim remedies, reporting procedures and, if applicable, the potential for an investigation.
Again, all on campus are encouraged to continue using these prevention techniques, including wearing facial coverings and following U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Protection guidance to protect yourself and those around you. Washing your hands for at least 20 seconds, and frequently, is one of the most important ways to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
