Charlotte, N.C. / May 18, 2021 -In an effort to safely return to normalcy for the fall 2021 semester, Ƶ is requiring students to receive COVID-19 vaccinations. In order to return to campus for the 2021-2022 academic school year, students must complete the vaccination process by Friday, July 30, 2021.
“We miss our students, who have been away from campus for more than a year. This requirement, in line with CDC recommendations, ensures they can safely return to campus, get an education and enjoy their college experience in the fall,” said Dr. Davida Haywood, vice president of Student Affairs.
Students can verify their vaccination by providing a copy of their COVID-19 vaccination record card that will be kept in their health records in Health Services or include vaccination verification evidenced by a doctor or vaccination clinic, as a part of their regular health immunization form submission to Health Services.
Two or more weeks will need to have passed after students received either the one or two-shot options before arriving safely to campus.
In addition, JCSU is requiring all faculty and staff to be fully vaccinated by July 15, 2021. By this date, employees should have received either the Johnson and Johnson one-dose vaccine or the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine.
The University is making an exception for students, faculty and staff with religious or medical exemptions.
