Per CSUN's announcement on January 7, CSUN will begin the spring semester with temporary primarily remote instruction for the first three weeks of the semester, Monday, January 24 through Friday, February 11. We will resume in-person instruction on Monday, February 14.
Rotations of on-campus staff and hybrid/remote work schedules will continue through February 14, 2022 in an effort to minimize contact between employees and ensure continuity of services. Large in-person meetings should be avoided and distancing should be maintained as much as possible.
Additionally, we all have a collective responsibility to conduct our work in a way that promotes personal health and safety, as well as that of co-workers and students. Please complete the self-screening survey, stay home if sick and/or exposed to COVID-19, wear masks indoors, and wash your hands regularly.
Faculty, staff, and student employees are required to provide certification of full vaccination status, request a medical or religious exemption, or certify they are not physically coming to campus exemption as follows:
You may provide this self-certification or request an exemption through the myNorthridge Portal. Once logged into the portal, under the Policies and Procedures pagelet of the Faculty or Staff tab, select the EE Vaccine Self-Certification link and complete the form accordingly.
As announced December 22, 2021, the CSU's policy on vaccine boosters and being fully immunized against SARS-CoV-2 is:
All employees who are accessing university facilities or programs are required to wear a medical-grade mask (also called surgical masks or disposable face masks, with three layers) indoors. If you need a medical-grade mask, please contact your Department COVID Coordinator.
All employees have a collective responsibility to conduct their work in a manner which promotes their personal health and safety, as well as that of their co-workers and students. Remember, you are responsible for:
The beginning of the New Year is a great time to review and update as necessary your contact and Emergcy Contact Information.

California State University, Northridge supports Telecommuting when the campus determines that telecommuting is operationally feasible and is in its best interest.
Telecommuting is only feasible for those job duties that can be performed away from campus. In that regard, most telecommuting agreements are voluntary and can be implemented only in instances in which a Department’s Appropriate Administrator has determined that the nature of the job duties of a particular position can be performed successfully outside the traditional office setting without an undue impact on the University’s operations and educational mission.
To learn more about the Telcommute Program, review MOU's and or to access the CSUN Telecommuting Agreement, visit the CSUN Telecommute Program website.
Effective January, 1, 2022, the California Minimum Wage increased to $15.00. All active employees below the new minimum will be raised to $15.00. These changes will be applied by Human Resources; no additional data entry or action by the department is required.
Please Note: If a department wants to provide an increase to a student employee's hourly rate outside of the minimum wage adjustment, vice presidential approval is required.
Effective January 1, 2022, hiring employees to perform CSU-related work outside of California is prohibited. Unfortunately, out-of-sate employment creates various legal and tax liabilities.
Memorandums of Understanding have been reached with CSUEU and CFA labor unions. Additional unions have been notified of the CSU’s intention to implement this new policy with meeting dates being scheduled.
As a reminder, CSU policy restricts student assistant work time. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service guidelines for student assistants to remain exempt from social security and Medicare deductions, limits their normal working hours to 20 during the school year. An exception is allowed during winter inter-session, spring break, and summer session.
