COVID-19 and Safe Return
Vaccine Mandate Lifted, Masks Required Indoors
Your Safety is Our Priority
The safety of our students, employees and community is our top priority. As we transition back to face-to-face instruction, Moreno Valley College is committed to safely addressing COVID-19 concerns and providing a healthy learning environment.
Vaccine Mandate Rescinded
Effective August 3, the vaccine mandate has been rescinded with Resolution No. 04-22/23. Vaccination against COVID-19 is no longer required to access District and college facilities.
Safety Requirements
- Wear a face mask while indoors.
- Utilize the free testing provided at campus or in the community.
- Continue to report positive or close contact cases.
A Safe Return to Campus

Masks are required for all individuals in indoor settings and highly recommended outdoors when around other people.
Stricter masking requirements may be enforced during COVID-19 outbreaks or at the requirements of public health agencies.
The MVC Safe Reopening Plan addresses needed safety and policy changes to courses with in-person learning. Our safe return principles include:
- Ensure the safety and wellbeing of students and employees
- Meet student needs for equitable access to quality instruction and student support services
- Support instructional needs for the delivery of high-quality courses
- Ensure resource availability to support all instruction and services

While College services are open for in-person use, coming to campus requires you to wear a mask. Students, employees and the community must follow all safety protocols.
- Wear a mask when indoors.
- Testing is available on campus, for free. Tests may take up to two days to process.
- Report cases of positive COVID-19 tests or instances of close contact with a COVID-19 positive individual to help with contact tracing and campus safety.
Timely reporting helps prevent further spread of COVID-19. All employees and students are required to immediately report if they have tested positive for COVID-19, experience COVID-19 symptoms, or have been identified as a close contact of an infected person.
