COVID Update: SUNY Morrisville Fall 2022 Semester

Published date
News Type

Dear Students,

Several changes have been made to SUNY Morrisville’s COVID-19 protocols since Spring 2022. The guidelines can be found on our COVID-19 Response Plans and Updates webpage

Vaccination Requirements: 

All students with a physical presence on campus must be vaccinated for COVID-19 or receive an approved waiver. Vaccinated for COVID-19 means a student must have completed a minimum of the initial course of the vaccine: (1) received both doses in a two-dose COVID-19 vaccine series or (2) received a single-dose COVID-19 vaccine.  

Booster Requirements: 

Students are strongly encouraged to obtain a booster once they are eligible to do so. While a booster is no longer required, students who are exposed to COVID-19 and not up to date with their booster will be required to complete mandatory quarantine for a minimum of five days.    

Testing: 

All students, regardless of vaccination or booster status, will participate in pooled saliva testing twice during the semester -- once during August move-in (or during the first week of class for Norwich and commuter students) and once in the week after fall break. Students are NOT required to do a pre-arrival test before coming to campus.    

Mandatory weekly testing will continue to be required for any student who has a physical presence on campus and who is not vaccinated, including those with approved religious or medical waivers, or who have not completed the initial course of the vaccine. Students who are vaccinated but not boosted are not required to participate in weekly testing. 

We look forward to seeing you for the start of the Fall 2022 semester!
