Ontario university will not allow unvaccinated students who normally learn in-person to take online courses

An Ontario university says it will not allow students who normally learn in-person to take part in online courses this fall if they have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

According to Wilfrid Laurier University’s latest COVID-19 vaccination policy, students are required to disclose their vaccination status by Oct. 8. Those who refuse to do so, as well as students who do not get both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, could face the following consequences:

• Being unable to attend Laurier’s campuses or locations

• Having access to MyLearningSpace suspended for fall term courses

• De-registration from fall in-person courses
