University Planning

University administration has assembled a multidisciplinary team from across the institution to identify and plan for a range of scenarios and potential near and longer-term impacts. These include considerations for:

  • Contingency planning for necessary supplies
  • Planning for classes during periods of quarantines, university closures, or transportation challenges
  • Human resources considerations, including remote work options
  • A patient surge within University Health System
  • Support for students with travel plans during breaks
COVID-19 Site-Specific Protection Plan (SPP)

As preparations continue, the university will communicate with you regularly.

Southern California University of Health Sciences takes the health and safety of our campus community very seriously. As United States and global health officials continue to address the spread of novel coronavirus COVID-19 infection, the Campus Safety Department at SCU is monitoring the situation in collaboration with our local state and governmental partners. Any official updates regarding SCU’s response will be found on the SCU website as well as delivered to the community via email.

This page contains resources and communications designed to raise awareness of prevention and preparedness efforts at SCU.

FAQs

COVID-19 FAQ’S FOR STUDENTS

General Questions

Is the campus open?

Yes. The campus is open in most areas.

Academic Instruction

Are courses online or in-person?

SCU has initiated the return of all courses to one of four standard delivery models as indicated in the Course Description section of the University Catalog.  The following are typical at SCU, with variability by program:

  • Most lecture courses are delivered via Online, Online Interactive, or Blended formats.
  • Most labs are offered On-Ground.
  • Clinicals are offered On-Ground.

Long term, the University will maximize the number of class sessions and courses available remotely, reserving ground-based instruction for topics and skills best delivered and learned in person. SCU is doing this because of:

  • Accessibility: the cost and time associated with commuting creates a personal or financial obstacle for many students.
  • Climate: commuting has a negative impact on our environment.
  • Innovation: SCU is committed to embracing educational innovation.
  • Demand: students increasingly expect online services, resources, and coursework as a routine part of their educational experience.


What do I need to access courses remotely?

Courses access is via any web-enabled computer, tablet, or phone with a camera, microphone, and internet. Remotely proctored exams may specifically require a desktop or laptop computer with a camera that can run Google Chrome extensions and has internet access. Generally speaking, devices that are 5 years old or newer with these few specifications should be adequate for remote exams. Technology requirements can be accessed here https://www.scuhs.edu/technology-requirements/


I do not have reliable access to WiFi. What do I do?

Several companies and government agencies are providing free to low-cost internet service. Please click on this link below to review all of the different program options to see which you are eligible to apply for:
https://www.highspeedinternet.com/resources/are-there-government-programs-to-help-me-get-internet-service

Students with wireless phone services may consider adding a personal hotspot to their plan in order to create their own Wi-Fi network from a smartphone. Most providers (e.g. Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon) offer personal hotspot service to be added to wireless plans for approximately $10 per month.


Student Health & Counseling

What if I am feeling sick, but I do not have health insurance. Where can I go for help?

If you need help finding medical care, call the Los Angeles County information line 2-1-1, which is available 24/7. You can also locate a provider by going to DHS.LACounty.gov

If you are having difficulty breathing or keeping fluids down, go to an emergency room or call 911 right away.


What if I want to be tested for COVID-19?

We are currently following LA County guidelines for testing. If you have further questions, please call your health care provider. Your provider will advise you on the next steps. Your provider will determine if you have signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and whether you should be tested.

Recommended Strategies for Navigating Online Courses

Staying Healthy

Staying Healthy

All students, faculty, and staff who have illness accompanied by fever—regardless of their travels—are asked to refrain from going to classes, labs, dining halls, offices, and other places where they could spread illness among others. To limit spread, we ask that a person have a normal temperature for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medications) before resuming a regular schedule.

The university asks faculty to be flexible in allowing students to make these decisions without necessarily visiting a medical practitioner for documentation of their illness. Staff should follow the normal procedures for sick time away from work; please notify your supervisor, and follow the university’s sick leave policy.

Other advice to avoid the spread of viruses includes:

  • Get a seasonal flu vaccination, even if you are not required to do so
  • Clean your hands frequently with soap and water (washing for a full minute) or alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Hand washing is crucial, particularly before eating or any activity that involves touching your face
  • Cough into your sleeve (the crook of your elbow) or a tissue, not into your hands
  • Stay home if you have a fever until you are fever-free for 24 hours without any medication

Personal Preparedness

Please remember the things that public health authorities indicate you can do to maximize personal preparedness and prevention:

  • Wash your hands frequently
  • Clean frequently touched surfaces frequently
  • Cough/sneeze into your elbow
  • Stay home if you are sick, and don’t return until you are fever-free for 24 hours without medication
  • Get your flu shot
