Temperature checks not required on campuses
As public health recommendations evolve, a temperature check is no longer required for employees and students when arriving at the Grossmont and Cuyamaca College campuses.

Employees and students no longer need to go to CAPS for a daily check-in and to receive a wrist band. Self-monitoring is acceptable.
Anyone planning to come to the campuses must first review the Daily Checklist to make sure you do not have any COVID-19 symptoms. If you cannot conduct a self-check at home, stop by the Campus and Parking Services office to have your temperature checked.
COVID-19 Vaccine Information
The San Diego County Department of Public Health says that until further notice, the County is only vaccinating people who are in the following groups:

When will those who work in Education and Childcare be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine?
Education & Childcare personnel are in Phase 1B (Tier 1), and will be the next group eligible to receive the vaccine. The county's ability to begin vaccinating those who work in education & childcare is dependent upon the supply of vaccines. Once available, the county will notify schools through the county website, a regular telebriefing, and by email.
Who can get vaccinated at the Cuyamaca College vaccination site?

The vaccination site at Cuyamaca College has a limited number of appointments available to the public who are eligible to be vaccinated at this time (65 and older, healthcare workers, and others in Phase 1A). Check on the county's vaccine website to determine if an appointment is available.

A priority appointment system for the Cuyamaca College site is being offered for current GCCCD employees who are 65 or older. Above, Chancellor Lynn Neault receiving her vaccination at Cuyamaca College.

If you are a GCCCD employee and 65 or older, and wish to make an appointment for your vaccine at Cuyamaca College, follow these steps (this process is ONLY for GCCCD employees 65+):
 
  1. You must make an appointment;
  2. Enter the last four digits of your social security number in field requesting employee ID;
  3. You will need to print and complete this form, and bring it with you to your appointment; and
  4. Bring to your appointment a photo ID and verification of GCCCD employment (i.e. Employee ID or paystub).
 
Cuyamaca College is simply the location for the vaccinations. The vaccine is being administered and organized by members of Operation Collaboration, a consortium of local fire agencies.
 
If you have questions about the vaccine or who is eligible to receive it, that information can be found on the County Health and Human Services Agency COVID-19 information page. If you need assistance registering for an appointment, please call 2-1-1.
