COVID Vaccinations Required

COVID Vaccine Requirements at Delta

To protect the health and safety of students, employees, and the community, San Joaquin Delta College will require COVID-19 vaccinations for all employees and for students registering for in-person or hybrid Spring Semester classes.

We urge you to get vaccinated as soon as possible and help end this pandemic!

Exemptions may be sought for medical or religious reasons.

Students should provide evidence of full vaccination or have an approved exemption as soon as possible to avoid potential delays in spring registration. It’s important to remember that all students will be able to register for online classes, regardless of their vaccination status, and students still have time to complete the vaccination/exemption process and register for in-person classes before Spring Semester starts in January.

Steps to Getting Vaccinated

Do I have to get vaccinated if I am taking online classes only?

Vaccinations are required only for students who are taking in-person or hybrid classes. However, we encourage all eligible persons to be vaccinated as recommended by public health experts.

I'm a student. What if I was not fully vaccinated or did not have an exemption approved by October 15?

If you missed the October 15 deadline to be fully vaccinated, you can still enroll in classes once you have finished the process. It's not too late! Please note that priority registration began Oct. 18, so if you are eligible for priority registration it is important that you finish the process as soon as possible or your registration may be delayed.

I'm an employee. What if I was not fully vaccinated or did not have an exemption approved by October 15?

If you have not submitted an exemption request or proof of full vaccination or partial vaccination, you will be receiving the first of a series of letters from the College notifying you that progressive discipline is beginning. If you do not comply with the mandate, the end result could lead to termination of your employment. We encourage you to take the steps necessary to comply with the mandate.

I am already enrolled in a fall class. How does this affect me?

There is no impact on fall classes. If you are not vaccinated you may continue to attend your in-person and hybrid courses. However, we strongly encourage you to get vaccinated as health experts agree it is one of the best ways to stop the COVID-19 pandemic.

If I get an exemption, do I have to be tested?

Yes. COVID testing will be required twice a week for both employees and students who are granted an exemption.

How can I get vaccinated?

The Delta College Health Center offers free vaccinations from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Monday. The Health Center is in the Locke Center opposite the Dolores Huerta Plaza. More details here: deltacollege.edu/freetextbooks.

What if I decide not to get vaccinated and do not qualify for an exemption?

You will not be able to sign up for in-person or hybrid classes in the spring. You will, however, be able to take online classes.

I'm a student and I'm also a Delta employee. Which form do I use to submit proof of vaccination or request an exemption?

Please ensure your proof of vaccination is uploaded in both the student and employee vaccination submission forms.

If you are requesting an exemption, you will also need to submit your request for exemption in both the student and employee exemption submission forms.
