Dear Falcons,
We are getting close to the January 3 deadline to upload your vaccination card into OptimumHQ.
Don’t worry. We’re here to help.
How to Upload Your Vaccine Cards
- View the step-by-step guide on how to upload your vaccine card into the OptimumHQ.
-
Visit “My Check-Ins” in the OptimumHQ dashboard under Vaccine Proof to verify your vaccine card has been added. Look for the same file name you used to save your vaccination card.
- For more help, please contact Student Health Services at 562-860-2451, Ext. 2321 to speak with a Return to Campus Program Facilitator.
Vaccine cards will be verified in the state system. Any fraudulent or altered vaccine cards will result in student discipline and being dropped from any enrolled in-person or hybrid courses.
Alternatives: Take Classes Online
If you miss the January 3 deadline to submit proof of vaccination, take classes online. Open enrollment closes on January 9, 2022, if you need to switch or enroll in an online or remote course, be sure to do so before January 9, 2022. See our list of online classes in SchedulePlus.
