COVID-19 Vaccinations Required for Coming to Campus

If you are coming to campus for a class or any other purpose, you must be vaccinated against COVID-19. You should submit proof of your final vaccination at least three days before you plan to register for any on-campus class this winter. You will not be able to register for on-campus classes until your vaccination record has been verified. (If you already submitted your vaccination records for fall, you don't need to submit again for winter.) In addition, you must:

  • Wear face masks at all times indoors – masks are also recommended for outdoor gatherings.
  • Check in with Optimum HQ before each time you come to campus – see instructions
  • Practice social distancing and follow any posted instructions

You’ll find simple instructions for uploading your vaccination record by visiting deanza.edu/return-to-campus/students.

The Library will be open for on-campus pickup of textbooks and materials – when requested online in advance – on the following schedule:

Extended Deadlines: Pass/No Pass, Excused Withdrawals

The deadlines for requesting Pass/No Pass or an Excused Withdrawal have been extended, in consideration of the disruptions caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

  • Pass/No Pass: You can request Pass/No Pass for the current quarter – or retroactively for classes taken in the 2020 or 2021 calendar year (including winter, spring, summer and fall of 2020 and winter, spring and summer of 2021) – until the deadline of Dec. 31, 2021.
  • Excused Withdrawals: The last day to drop a class and receive a W is Nov. 12. However, the deadline to request an excused withdrawal (EW) for reasons related to COVID-19 has been extended to Dec. 10, the last day of the quarter. Requests for excused withdrawals for previous quarters will not be considered without documentation of extenuating circumstances.

Before choosing Pass/No Pass, you should know that some transfer universities may not accept Pass grades for certain requirements. To learn more about these important considerations and how to submit a request, visit our Special Rules for Pass/No Pass and Excused Withdrawals webpage. (Updated Nov. 3, 2021)
