WSU to require COVID vaccination by this fall

PULLMAN - Washington State University will require COVID-19 vaccination for employees, students, and volunteers for the 2021-22 academic year.

The announcement was made Wednesday by WSU President Kirk Schulz.

Exceptions will be permitted for religious, medical, and personal reasons.

For students participating in activities or classes on campus, proof of vaccination will be required, by the start of the fall semester in August. Students, who live on campus, will also need proof of vaccination, or an approved exemption by Aug. 6. People living off-campus need to do the same by Nov. 1.

WSU students with approved exemptions may be subject to regular COVID-19 testing.
