This data is made available to inform our CUI community about the number of laboratory-confirmed positive cases that have been reported to the Wellness Center and Human Resources. Data shown reflects self-reports from persons who were on campus at the time of infection. Persons who were identified as close contacts will be notified and given further instructions and support. To protect the privacy of the individuals affected, we are not in a position to provide additional information. It’s important to note that CUI will not send out emails each time a case or suspected case of COVID-19 is reported. Instead, the dashboard will be updated when each confirmed case is reported.
For all other inquiries, please contact [email protected].
Keeping our Community Safe
Masks
The California Department of Public Health announced that effective March 1, 2022, it is lifting the requirement for unvaccinated persons to mask in most public indoor settings and businesses. The requirement is being replaced by a strong recommendation.
CUI will align its protocols with this update. This means that unvaccinated persons will not be required to wear masks indoors on CUI’s campuses. No person can be prevented from wearing a mask if they choose to do so.
Vaccines
All CUI students and employees are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine. Please note, the choice to vaccinate lies with each individual and receiving the vaccine is not a requirement for attending classes, living in the residence halls, or for employment with Concordia.
If you have recently recovered from a COVID-19 infection or your vaccination status has changed, please upload your vaccination records or proof of a positive test via Concordia’s Medicat website link. You can also view a tutorial video with instructions on how to upload your vaccination record. Updated vaccination information is important to help the Wellness Center determine an individual’s requirements for quarantine.

Vaccine Resources
Individuals can register and search for appointments on several available vaccine registration platforms.
- Contact your PCP or insurance health group
- Orange County Public Health sign-up: Othena
- California sign-up page: My Turn
- Pharmacies including CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens are also offering appointments
COVID-19 Testing
Every residential address in the U.S. is eligible for 2 orders of 4 free at-home COVID-19 antigen tests. The tests are completely free. Orders will usually ship in 7-12 days. Order your FREE rapid antigen test kits here.
Rapid antigen tests are also available in the Wellness Center for the following cases. Appointments are necessary.
- Students with COVID symptoms
- Students and CUI Employees testing out of isolation or quarantine
Employees who are experiencing COVID-like symptoms should test off campus through their healthcare provider or at home. COVID test kits are now easily accessible and free or reimbursable by your insurance.
CUI has also partnered with Color to provide PCR testing for students and employees, with or without COVID symptoms. Testing with Color will be available every Mon/Tue/Wed in the CU Arena from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm through the end of Spring 22 semester. Students can set up an account with Color through MyCUI to expedite testing. Test results will be texted directly to the individual within 2-3 days.
Symptom Checking
It is recommended that all CUI students take their temperature and complete a daily health assessment. Resident students should perform these checks before leaving the residence hall in the morning, and commuter students are asked to conduct temperature and symptom checking before coming to campus. Students who report symptoms will be advised to stay home until contacted by the Wellness Center for assessment and guidance.
Athletes have a reporting tool that meets the NCAA guidance, called ARMS COVID-19. Student athletes who report symptoms will be contacted by an athletic trainer and referred to the Wellness Center, as needed. Contact your coach if you have questions regarding set-up and protocol.
How to Report Self-Illness
Contact the Wellness Center at (949) 214-3102 or [email protected].
If you are ill, but your symptoms are unrelated to COVID-19 symptoms, stay home and notify your professors that you are unable to attend class due to illness.
If a student exhibits any of the symptoms indicated on the CDC website or app, they should not come to class or attend other campus activities. Likewise, commuter students should not come to campus. Contact the Wellness Center and your medical provider immediately for further instructions.

COVID Reporting
Quarantine & Isolation
The Wellness Center will follow the Orange County Health officer's Orders & Recommendations pertaining to isolation and quarantine of persons who are identified as having COVID-19 infection or close contacts of infected individuals. Vaccination status of affected individuals will have a significant impact on their restrictions.
For students living on campus, temporary rooms will be available to them along with meal deliveries.
