LACCD COVID Vaccine & Masking Policy Changes for Students

The LACCD Board of Trustees voted last week to modify the District's vaccination policy and to rescind the indoor masking requirement. The following will go to effect on the dates noted below:

• Effective May 5, 2022, students are not required to provide proof of vaccination or have an approve exemption to enroll in in-person classes or to access District or college facilities. Weekly COVID testing for students with vaccination exemptions will also no longer be required.
• Effective June 12, 2022, there will no longer be an indoor masking mandate at any of the colleges or at District facilities for employees, students or visitors. After June 12, individuals may choose to wear a mask if they want to, and free masks will still be available on campus.
