After an extensive consultation period, UC's final policy regarding required COVID-19 vaccinations has been approved. For the safety and well-being of the entire university community, the policy will require, with few exceptions, that all students, academic employees and staff be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus on or before August 15, 2021.
The policy allows for limited exceptions to COVID-19 vaccination based on a medical exemption, disability accommodation, or religious objection; pregnant individuals may also request a deferral if they wish for the duration of the pregnancy. Contact Dave Ritz (
