As several South African universities reopen for classes this week, students will need to be familiar with their institution’s vaccination policy and whether they will require proof of Covid-19 vaccination to access campus grounds.
UCT currently has a draft policy that states that access to the campus, buildings, and residences will require valid proof of vaccination with a World Health Organization approved vaccine or exemption.
This policy is set to be effective from 1 March 2022 or as soon as Council approves the policy and rule changes.
In November 2021, UJ’s Council resolved that all employees and students need to be vaccinated before accessing UJ campuses and facilities.
Media liaison manager, Herman Esterhuizen, said these measures also apply to outside contractors, identified stakeholders, and visitors.
Students registering at SU will not be required to provide proof of vaccination in the first quarter of 2022. However, from the start of the second quarter, the Council may determine that a vaccine mandate be implemented.
A Covid-19 vaccination policy was approved by the UFS council in November last year and states that while no students or staff members are forced to vaccinate, they will need to provide proof of vaccination to enter campus.
Students registering at RU will be required to have their vaccination verified or their exemption approved to complete their online registration.
