Campus News:
COVID-19 update from the Campus Health Committee
The continued decline of cases throughout our community and the recent expiration of the federal government’s public health emergency declaration have allowed us to make some major updates to Wayne State’s COVID-19 policies. The following changes are effective immediately:
- COVID-19 vaccines are no longer required for students, faculty or staff, except for students living in campus housing and those studying, working or teaching in clinical settings.
- Use of the Campus Daily Screener is no longer required.
- Mandatory testing for individuals with vaccine waivers is no longer required.
- Further details are available here.
