California State University, San Bernardino's institutional U.S flag flies in the front of campus at the center of the campus quad. U.S. flags are also located at the University Police Department, Jack H. Brown Hall, and in front of the Health Science Building at the Palm Desert Campus. The flags are maintained by our Facilities Management department, with the exception of the flag located at the University Police Department, which is maintained by Police personnel. 

The Chancellor of the 23-campuses of California State University has designated decisions related to the U.S. flag to the president of the individual CSU campuses.   

Policy

CSU, San Bernardino generally bases decisions to lower the U.S. flags on directives and executive orders sent to federal and/or state agencies by either the President of the United States or the Governor of California. The Chancellor of the California State University System, or the President of California State University, San Bernardino, grants the authorization to fly the flag at half-staff out of respect for events, occurrences or based on discretionary consideration. 

The Office of the Vice President for Finance, Technology, and Operations is designated as the primary office responsible for requesting the flag to be lowered to half-staff and informing the campus at large. The University will be notified via the CAMPUS listserv when flags are flown at half-staff. 

Below is a list of pre-established dates on which the U.S. Flag is customarily flown at half-staff:
