COVID-19 Vaccinations
The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) and the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) strongly support requiring full vaccination of students against COVID-19 before returning to in-person learning and on-campus activities. Consistent with this recommendation, and in consultation with its health partner, National Jewish Health, the University of Denver (DU) requires students, faculty and staff who are living, learning or working in person to be fully-vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning to campus for fall term. This requirement applies to individuals who are studying or working in person as part of their DU role, even if the in-person activity does not occur on campus (e.g., study abroad, other off-campus programs, or conducting DU business in other locations).
Students must have received either an FDA-authorized (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson/Janssen) or WHO-listed (AstraZeneca/CoviShield, Sinopharm or Sinovac) vaccine are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after the final dose. Individuals who received a non-WHO-listed/FDA-authorized vaccine, or who have received either a single dose of a multi-dose vaccine or mixed multiple vaccines, are considered not fully vaccinated.
Submit your verified vaccination record or approved exemption by your fall term start date, and no later than September 1 on MyHealth. Visit the Health & Counseling Center COVID-19 immunization page for directions on submitting your vaccination record or information about vaccination exemptions.
