CSUSB to continue in-person campus operations with some modifications for outdoor activities.

Dear Campus Community:

Our thoughts are with the families and community members impacted by the recent fires in our area. We recognize how difficult this time is for everyone at CSUSB and want you to know that your safety is our highest priority. We are working closely with local emergency services to stay informed and ensure the well-being of our entire community.

At this time, the CSUSB San Bernardino campus is not currently included in evacuation orders or warnings issued by CALFIRE for the Line Fire that started in Highland on Thursday. However, due to the ongoing fire situation in Highland and the Mountain Communities, the following modifications will be made to campus operations for Monday, September 9th:

  • In-person instruction and business operations will continue as normal
  • Building air handling systems will be modified to limit outdoor air to reduce the circulation of smoke and ash inside of campus buildings.
  • Outdoor activity classes, athletic practices, and other planned outdoor activities will be moved indoors or rescheduled. Students should check with faculty or event organizers for additional information.

Campus leadership will continue to monitor the situation and make operational adjustments as required to ensure the safety of our campus community.  Please don't hesitate to reach out if you or someone you know needs support during this challenging time.
