UCI Forward is our commitment to the well-being of our community as we ramp up campus operations. Working together, each of us doing our part, we can move UCI Forward.
Once each year, typically in the fall, UCI will require students and campus employees to either attest to having received the COVID-19 vaccine or to decline the COVID-19 vaccine.
You do not need to take any action at this time. Watch for campus communications later this year on how to attest or decline the COVID-19 vaccine.
What has changed with this most recent policy revision announcement?
University policy will no longer require COVID-19 vaccine as a condition, with limited exceptions, to physically access a University location or program.
There will no longer be a requirement for new campus employees or new students to submit evidence of a COVID-19 primary vaccination series.
There will no longer be a requirement to submit a medical or religious exception request or disability deferral request in lieu of receiving the vaccine.
Students and campus employees will instead attest or decline the most current dose of the COVID-19 vaccine once per year, typically in the fall.
Help keep UCI Healthy. Stay up to date with your COVID-19 vaccination.
