Dear Students,

Utah Valley University announced on August 30 that it will require COVID-19 vaccination for all students, with the exception of those who are enrolled concurrently at various Utah high schools, for the spring 2022 semester.

Beginning September 13, a vaccination status questionnaire will be available when you log in to your myUVU student portal. It is a brief form to declare your vaccination status or file for an exemption, in accordance with state law, based on religious, medical, or personal reasons. Please complete the form immediately. It will be available during three login attempts. If it is not completed after the third login to myUVU, you will be temporarily locked out of the portal until the vaccination record is completed.

UVU provides free COVID-19 vaccinations at our on-campus clinic for all students, faculty, staff, and their immediate families. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are currently offered. The Pfizer vaccine will become available later in September. A third dose of the vaccine is also available to those who are classified as immunocompromised (according to CDC guidelines).

We are grateful for the collective efforts to return to in-person instruction safely. Our goal is to provide all of the traditional opportunities and engaged-learning experiences that make UVU exceptional and add to the vibrancy of our campus. COVID-19 vaccines are our greatest means of ensuring in-person classes and activities continue without disruption.

If you have questions regarding the vaccination requirement or anything else related to UVU COVID-19 protocols, please visit uvu.edu/covidinfo.

 

With highest regards,
