Students who have not shared with the University proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 must test weekly for the disease throughout the spring 2022 semester.
宾州大学公园. — As 此前宣布，学生谁没有 shared with the University proof that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 must test weekly for the disease throughout the spring 2022 semester.
Enrolled students who are noncompliant with the weekly required testing will lose access to Canvas until they become compliant. Students who subsequently meet their testing requirement will typically have their access to Canvas restored within 1-2 hours after completing their required test. 学生可联络 COVID-19呼叫中心 to request a one-time, one-week reprieve in the event of an urgent academic need.
Continued noncompliance will result in additional disciplinary sanctions, up to and including conduct suspension upon the completion of a formal student conduct process.
The University sought a more streamlined approach to enforcing the testing requirement than was in place in the fall semester, which was a three-strikes approach that included a registration hold, a referral to student conduct and, 最终, an interim suspension after missing a third weekly required COVID-19 test.
Students who have not shared with the University that they are fully vaccinated will receive an email each Monday throughout the semester to remind them to be tested. These students have until the following Sunday to complete a University-administered COVID-19 test. If they do not complete their required test on or before Sunday, the compliance process begins on Monday, with students losing Canvas access early in the week.
在大学公园, drop-in testing is available Sunday through Friday at the White Building for students who are required to test, as well as those who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19.
在其他校园地点, tests are either distributed from a location on campus or ordered via mail from Vault Health. Students should check with their campus Student Affairs staff to learn how to obtain and complete a test on their campus. The weekly email contains a link that provides students additional details for their campus testing process.
Students who receive a positive result will be referred to isolation and the University’s contact tracing process 将会开始. Students who must isolate — whether on or off campus — will have support from the University to help them continue their studies, maintain their physical and mental health and stay connected to others.
大学公园的学生, Commonwealth Campuses and Dickinson Law, 谁还没有这样做, can upload their proof of vaccination into the MyUHS门户 and are encouraged to do so as soon as their vaccine series is complete. World Campus students can provide their proof of vaccination to the University using SalesForce运行状况云, a secure online platform for collecting health data.
All three COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the U.S. are readily available at hospitals, urgent care centers, doctor’s offices and pharmacies. Providers can be easily located by visiting 疫苗.政府.
