Public health officials anticipate widespread vaccination throughout summer 2021 will reduce COVID-19 transmission significantly by the Fall 2021 academic semester. As a result, SDSU and SD BOR are planning to offer more of its traditional on campus activities, and in-person instruction. As part of this transition SDSU will be phasing out the reopening plan that guided COVID-19 mitigation during the 2020-2021 academic school year in a way that prioritizes the health and safety of the campus community.

Due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic SDSU will maintain its capacity to implement more stringent mitigation measures if the public health need arises. Additionally, there are protocols and procedures developed for the COVID-19 pandemic that will continue to be beneficial in a post pandemic environment.
