The university's President Susan Poser said in a message to the community that all students and staff will be required to get a booster shot within seven days of becoming eligible beginning with those who are eligible on or before Tuesday, Jan. 18.
Poser said the decision was made due to the increase in cases of the Omicron variant.
Students and employees will be required to upload proof that they received their booster vaccine by Jan. 18 or within seven days of becoming eligible.
