Warrior Strong Our COVID-19 Plans
Santa Barbara moved to Tier 2, which allows Westmont partial in-person, in-classroom learning to begin October 13. We were excited to welcome our new and returning students to campus on September 23! We know this fall looks very different, but we’re committed to making a Westmont education safe and enjoyable this fall semester. We’re the right size to shift and pivot as we need to, observing and respecting restrictions and regulations and taking advantage of the opportunities available to us, such as outdoor learning under large tents. The safety of our Westmont community remains our highest priority.
On this site, you can watch, read, and download plans for each area. Westmont is open for visitors who follow our protocols so everyone can safely interact on our beautiful Santa Barbara campus. And mask-up, Warriors! #maskupwarriors #protectthemont

Warriors – Mask Up!
When it comes to face masks, Westmont has you covered! In fact, Westmont has expanded its face covering options to include four different designs to show your Warrior pride while following state and county health requirements. The face masks are FREE to all students, faculty and staff at the admissions lobby of Kerrwood Hall. Alumni and parents may purchase one through the Westmont Bookstore. The fabric, which meets CDC requirements for COVID-19 protection, is incredibly comfortable and breathable, and easily washable. Remember, true Warriors smile with their eyes.
