Vaccination Requirement
This is a reminder that the University of Redlands requires students who come to campus to be vaccinated for the SARS CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus. Proof of vaccination must be received, or an exemption request approved. Failure to comply will result in both a registration and housing hold which will delay moving onto campus and attending class, respectively. If you have yet to complete the vaccination
requirement, please do so ASAP. You can complete this requirement by clicking here.
Online Instruction
Per the University announcement on January 2, 2021, spring semester instruction for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Arts and Science (CAS) will begin online Monday, January 10. In person instruction will begin Tuesday,
January 18. (Enhanced protocols are in place at least through January 21, in person instruction begins Tuesday, January 18.)
Three to Five Day Testing Window
We have asked everyone to provide proof of a negative test within three to five days of their arrival on campus and three to five days after their arrival. While what you provide cannot be more than five days old, if it is less than three, it will be accepted and should be uploaded using the
COVID compliance attestation form, accessible via the yellow banner at the top of the Redlands App.
Weekly Testing
Per the testing protocol, after you complete your pre-and post-arrival testing requirement, unless you are “boosted” you will need to participate in weekly testing, at least through January 21. More information on that to come. For now, focus on the pre- and post-test requirement, and if you are eligible, get your booster!
Booster Requirement
Speaking of boosters, the University announcement dated January 2, included this statement “COVID-19 Boosters are required.” in a list of “….enhanced measures outlined in further detail below.” The referenced "further detail" included; “As previously announced, the University will require booster shots for all vaccinated individuals. An updated vaccination policy will be released by Jan. 10.” So, while the
University has decided boosters are required, the policy that will guide this requirement, will be shared by January 10.
