Beginning Jan. 26, 2021, Campus requires all visitors to take a community surveillance test (E. Whitlock announcement here) with University Health Services, and to present the test confirmation (a Green-coded badge) to Haas Facilities building monitors before gaining entry.

Learn more from these Campus links:

• Campus Community Screening (Surveillance Testing)
• Surveillance Testing – Badge System

Before planning your visit to Haas or Campus, you must complete all the one-time training below from the UC Learning Center:

• EHS 207: UC Berkeley Guidelines on Protecting Workers from COVID-19 (Revised 2/8/2021)
• UC Berkeley COVID-19 Health and Safety Guide for Returning to the Workplace

On-site workers would need to complete the following health and safety requirements, as outlined in AVC Eugene Whitlock’s Oct. 1 email:

• Health & Safety Training
• Health & Safety Guide
• Obtain Flu Immunization by Nov. 1, 2020

(FOR USERS WITH RECURRING ACCESS, OR THOSE WHO REQUIRE CARD KEY ACCESS ONLY)

It is important to keep your Cal1 Card current.  Cards with issue dates of Jan. 2007 and older are obsolete, and will be unable to operate card key access.

Check the issue date on the front of the card, or the numerical string at the bottom of the back.  Newer cards would show a numerical string which begins with six digits.  If your code begins with a five-digit string, then the card is old and needs to be replaced.

To get a replacement card, visit:

• Cal1 Card COVID-19 Update page   (find section towards bottom for Employees and Affiliates With Obsolete Cards)

ℹ NOTE:  if you have more than one Cal1 Card (some retain old cards, even when these have already been replaced), please remember to use your newest or latest card, as this will be the card which the Cal1 Card Office will provide with access.

1. Complete all the requirements listed in the above section: COVID-19 Training and Health & Safety sections.
2. Get in writing (email) your supervisor’s approval for your visit.
3. Attach your supervisor’s approval in an email to fixit@haas.berkeley.edu.
4. After submitting the email, Haas Facilities will contact you to schedule your visit.

The UC Berkeley Public Health Committee recommends that Surveillance Testing be applied to employees who are on Campus for more than one hour/day, or who come to Campus more than one time per week.  Employees do not need to test if they come to Campus one time/week for a duration of less than one hour.

1. If you are coming to Haas one time, for less than an hour duration, you can skip ahead to Step 2.  Otherwise, please have your Green badge ready to show to building monitors upon entry.
2. Complete the Campus Daily Symptom Screener (needs to be completed for each day you are planning to be at Haas/Campus).
3. Wear a face covering.  No face covering, no entry – and no exceptions.
4. During your visit, if you need access assistance, please contact Haas Facilities at 510-643-4948.

ℹ Note: entry is given only to faculty or staff members with approved access and scheduled appointments.  No companions (spouses, family members, friends, or other unapproved entities) are allowed.
