COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Required for Adelphi University Students

If you have an approved medical or religious exemption and are unvaccinated, you will be required to abide by all health and safety protocols for unvaccinated individuals in order to be allowed to participate in in-person learning and activities:

• You must wear a mask indoors at all times and outdoors where social distancing cannot be maintained, except while eating or drinking.
• You must continue to practice physical distancing and frequent handwashing.
• You must immediately notify Student Health Services if you test positive for COVID-19 or have a known or suspected exposure to someone with COVID-19. You will be required to quarantine off campus at your own expense if required by the University.
• You are required to participate in the University’s ongoing surveillance testing program.

If you do not have an approved exemption and do not want to get vaccinated, you will not be allowed on campus or in Adelphi learning centers for the academic year 2021–2022. Please reach out to the Office of Academic Services and Retention at oasr@adelphi.edu to discuss what options might be possible for you, depending on your course of study.
