Ryerson University says it will require all students, faculty, staff, contractors and visitors to provide proof of their vaccination status when on campus this fall.
The new enhanced measure will go into effect on September 7, 2021.
In a statement, school president Mohamed Lachemi said “those who have not been fully vaccinated or do not want to disclose their vaccination status will be required to be tested in order to come to campus.”
“We know that ensuring high rates of vaccination is essential to protecting public health and ensuring the successful reopening of our campus,” Lachemi wrote.
Earlier, Ryerson mandated that all students living in residence, and all student-athletes competing on varsity and competitive club teams, be fully vaccinated.
The school says “details about attesting vaccination status, testing requirements, and how to request an exemption will be shared shortly.”
Ryerson joins a growing list of schools that have recently updated their vaccination requirements.
