Vaccinations
Students are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to safeguard their health and the health of all members of our University and South Florida communities.
Faculty, staff, and postdoctoral associates employed by the University of Miami on the Coral Gables and Marine campuses are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 for the 2021–22 academic year, subject to certain exceptions, including medical and religious exemptions. Employees should receive their final vaccine dose by Aug. 1 to be fully vaccinated by the start of the fall term.
To be fully vaccinated, you must be at least two weeks past receiving your final vaccine dose.
HOW TO REQUEST A VACCINE EXEMPTION
Faculty, staff, and postdoctoral associates seeking a COVID-19 vaccination exemption must apply through Workday by Aug. 1, 2021. If you wish to request an exemption, please review information regarding the required supporting documentation prior to submitting your request. Click here for more information.
Individuals who have been approved for a COVID-19 vaccine exemption will be required to take a COVID-19 test twice a week and continue to wear masks in all indoor spaces.
HOW TO UPLOAD VACCINE DOCUMENTATION
Students vaccinated outside of UHealth should upload a copy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card to their MyUHealthChart account.
Employees can submit COVID-19 vaccination confirmation into Workday by following one of the methods below:
