Updated Spring 2023 Health and Safety Protocols
The university continues to monitor the relevant health and safety data associated with COVID-19, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and Seasonal Influenza (Flu). The current positive data reflect substantial improvement and stability and allow us to institute a relaxation in our operating protocols.
COVID-19 Vaccine and Boosters: All students and employees who have not been granted a medical or religious exemption by the university continue to be required to have completed a primary series of vaccinations. Booster doses will no longer be required unless an individual falls within the definition of a “Covered Individual” set forth in University Policy 100.3.1.
