COVID-19 Dashboards

 Last Updated: May 25, 2023

We are providing information on the vaccination status and positive COVID-19 cases on campus in order to keep our Santa Clara community appropriately informed.

Vaccinations

Verified vaccination data as of September 15, 2022

Reporting for nearly 10,000 community members (undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff members).

97%
Students Verified Vaccinated and Boosted
 
97%
Faculty and Staff Members Verified Vaccinated and Boosted
 

Reported Positive Cases

Cases below include Color PCR tests, rapid antigen tests, and external tests reported to the COVID Operations team from students, faculty, and staff. 

Note: With the recent policy changes that eliminated the required surveillance testing, and the shift towards rapid antigen tests, the COVID Operations team is unable to acquire an accurate number of tests taken in a given week. Therefore, we are unable to calculate an accurate positivity rate. As such, we will share the number of reported positive cases from week to week, so the community can see changes in case numbers as accurately as we can provide.

Per the applicable notification requirements, faculty, staff or students will be notified of exposure via the SCU COVID-Dashboard, which lists the building and potential exposure date.  Dates posted are the date of positive test. Infectious period may begin 48 hours prior to symptom onset or test date.

If you are an SCU student, staff or faculty member and you tests positive outside of SCU's testing program, please report your positive test result.

COVID-19 Related Benefits and Protections

SCU Human Resources will answer any employee questions about Personnel related leaves, programs, and needs. If you are unable to work, you may be entitled to receive supplemental paid sick leave to cover the time you are required to quarantine, isolate, or seek a COVID-19 diagnosis. Please contact Indu Ahluwalia for more information on these benefits.  Retaliation or discrimination against an employee who requests paid sick days or uses paid sick days is prohibited.  scu.edu/covid-19-hr-resource

Privacy Reminder

Santa Clara University strives at all times to respect the privacy and medical confidentiality of our community members who have tested positive for COVID-19. While it is understandable to be concerned and seek details about possible exposure from peers or colleagues who are infected, it is important to remember:

  • Confirmed cases do not always indicate active infections. Many individuals who have tested positive have already recovered or are in the process of recovering.
  • The public health department in a person’s county of residence determines who, if anyone, must be contacted regarding potential exposure to COVID-19, based on current guidelines. For Santa Clara County, guidelines can be found on the Santa Clara County Public Health website. 
  • The most important factors in preventing the spread of COVID-19 continue to be social distancing; strictly following good health practices such as frequent hand washing and use of hand sanitizer; wearing masks when engaging in essential activities outside the home; and following all guidance from U.S. and local health authorities. 
  • Those experiencing symptoms of COVID-19—such as a fever over 100.4 degrees, coughing or trouble breathing—should contact their local provider, or, if residing on campus, contact the Cowell Health Center.
