Lab Coat Program
Important Change Coming Soon!
SH&S is in the process of switching vendors from Mission Linen to UniFirst. At this
time, we are not ordering any new coats until the transition is finished. If you do
not have coats assigned to you but are in need of a lab coat, there are ones with
nametags that say "Biology" or "Chemistry" that anyone can use.
More details will be sent in a communication from SH&S.
This page will be updated accordingly as phases of the transition are completed.
SH&S manages the ordering, distribution, and laundering of lab coats for staff and
faculty on campus. If you cannot find a lab coat in your size at one of the locations
listed below, please send an email to shs@csusm.edu.
Lab coats are picked up for laundering and returned every other week by Mission Linen.
SH&S will routinely collect soiled coats from the designated locations listed below.
Please do not deposit any lab coats without a Mission Linen ID barcode on the collar (e.g. student coats) as they may not be returned. In addition, please empty all pockets
before depositing.
To ensure your coats are cleaned and returned to you in the timeliest manner possible,
place your soiled coat(s) in the hamper at a designated location no later than Wednesday of Mission Linen鈥檚 scheduled pick-up week. Please refer to the information below.
