The health, safety and well-being of our students, faculty, staff and community are the university’s number-one priority. JWU continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to the 2022 Fall semester, the university required all students be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 (i.e., that students have received one or two doses of the vaccine, in accordance with the number of doses recommended by the manufacturer).
Students are asked to upload into their electronic medical record (through the Medicat Student Patient Portal) confirmation of their COVID-19 vaccination (excluding any medical information other than evidence of their vaccination).
Along with hand washing, physical distancing, the daily screening questionnaire, and face masks, this is a key way to keep our campus community healthy & safe.
Students may request an exemption from this requirement for medical or religious reasons. Students are able to complete the attestation form directly on the Medicat webpage: jwu.medicatconnect.com when they log in. Look for the COVID Vaccine exemption form.
In order to promote health and safety for all, we are asking everyone in the JWU community to fill out the Daily COVID-19 Screening Questionnaire at the beginning of each day. Complete the questionnaire via jwuLink or the JWU Mobile App.
Please answer the questions honestly. After submitting your daily screening, you will receive an email with either a green ✓ or red “x” along with instructions.
COVID-19 REGULATIONS BY STATE
JWU continues to adhere to the guidelines offered by federal, state and local officials. Regulations and ordinances such as social-gathering limits and travel restrictions may vary by state, city and county, thereby resulting in different guidance for each of our campuses.
