An Ontario university says it will not allow students who normally learn in-person to take part in online courses this fall if they have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. According to Wilfrid Laurier University’s latest COVID-19 vaccination policy, students are required to disclose their vaccination status by Oct. 8. Laurier added it is using the fall semester as a “transition term,” and that students taking online courses at that time will still be required to be fully vaccinated before in-person learning returns in the winter. There is an exception for students enrolled in fully online degree programs, who are not required to attend campus at any time and do not plan to visit campus for any other reason. Those students do not have to upload their vaccination status.
