To help ensure your health and safety, all UCSF personnel who have been previously or newly authorized to return to campus must complete a daily health screening prior to entering a UCSF building starting on Monday, May 18, 2020.
Health screening is already in place for all personnel entering UCSF medical centers, and the campus has adopted the same online health screening tool as UCSF Health.
The tool, UCSF Health Screen, can be accessed using your mobile phone or home computer. To complete your daily UCSF Health Screen, you can either:
- Text "Screen" to 83973 (easiest) or
- Access site via https://www.ucsfhealth.org/daily-health-screening and click “Take Screener” on your desktop or web-enabled phone

The questions take less than two minutes to complete. You'll need to receive clearance prior to entering a UCSF building, ideally, 2-4 hours before you plan to arrive. There is no need to complete a health screening if you are working from home.
If you do not have access to a mobile device or home computer, please complete the screening immediately upon arrival at your desk or department computer, ipad, or mobile device or visit a Health Screening Station (see below).
If you are ill, please stay home! If you are not cleared by the health screening, follow your department sick time process and speak directly with a representative from Occupational Health Services (employees) or Student Health & Counseling Services (students).
If you are cleared by the Health Screen, you'll receive a digital Entry Pass via text message or email, depending on which preference you select.
If you are coming to campus regularly, consider requesting the tool to send you a reminder link now, daily, or on specific days. This way you will have the link ready when you need it.
Although you do not have to show your digital Entry Pass as you enter your campus building, at any point in the day you may be asked to show your pass to your manager, UCSF Police or security, EH&S auditor, health and safety officers, or other auditors. Campus personnel do not need to affix a daily sticker to your ID.
However, if you are entering a UCSF Medical Center facility, you will need to show your Entry Pass and obtain a sticker from a UCSF Health-Health Screening Station as well as comply with UCSF Health's Universal Mask policy (see below).
