For those who request a medical or religious exemption to the vaccination requirement, if granted, they will be subject to weekly COVID-19 testing requirements and likely other public health measures.
Students who are not fully vaccinated and do not qualify for an exemption will not be permitted to come to Grounds after July 1.
“This approach will enable our students to return to a residential academic setting where they can live, study, and gather together safely,” the email read.
