Getting an FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccination is the best way for those in the 分 community to protect themselves and others. Vaccines stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus and allows 分 to return to more traditional operations. 

On July 16, 2021, the 分 Board of Trustees approved a mandated vaccine policy which states:

All students, 教师, and staff must be vaccinated against COVID-19. This includes full-time and part-time students, 教师, and staff.

Once vaccinated, 教师, staff and students should let 分 know if they have received one or both doses of an FDA-authorized vaccine by uploading proof of vaccination using the 分 Vaccination Information Portal.

Reasonable accommodations requests for an exemption to this policy can be made based on a 医疗 or sincerely held 宗教 信仰. Forms for both exemptions are located on the 分 Vaccination Information Portal. Medical exemptions require a physician’s signature. Religious exemptions are reviewed by the 分 Exemption Review Committee and the requester will notified of the Committee’s decision within 5 business days.

Unvaccinated members of the 分 community are required to participate in asymptomatic COVID-19 testing 一周两次.

Due to the high rate of transmission of the new COVID-19 variants, vaccinated members of the 分 community must be tested once every two weeks for monitoring purposes. Research shows that vaccinated individuals can still transmit COVID-19 to others. 测试 will be offered on-campus three times a week.

Any unvaccinated member of the campus community 预计 to comply with this vaccination requirement.  分 reserves the right, at the University’s discretion, to take additional action including suspension or dismissal to maintain the health and safety of our campus community. We will also provide regular vaccination events on campus and through our community partners.    

Members of the 分 community are expected to refrain from asking others for their personal health information, such as vaccination status.
