After over a year of social distancing and virtual learning, we’re excited to see students, faculty and staff return to GWU's campus for in-person instruction! The university is committed to maintaining a safe environment for everyone and has released updated guidelines and requirements for in person instruction during the fall semester. As part of these new guidelines, the university has implemented a COVID-19 vaccination policy:
All students, faculty and staff members who wish to access any building on GW’s campus must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Once you’ve received your full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, you must update the university by uploading your vaccination card onto the medical portal. A link to the medical portal is located here.
To upload your vaccination record to the portal, follow these short instructions:
- Log onto the portal, enter your date of birth and you’ll be directed to the home page
- On the left side menu, click ‘Medical Clearances’
- Once you’ve reached the ‘Medical Clearances’ page, scroll until you see ‘Add COVID Vaccine Record’
- Press ‘Update’ and upload a copy of your vaccination record
- Note: Please upload the file as a JPEG. PDFs will not be accepted
- Once you’re ready to upload, click the ‘Done’ button and your record is now in the portal!
The vaccination record must be uploaded by August 1st in order to receive clearance to access any GW buildings.
If you have any questions about the vaccination requirement or the university’s strategies for maintaining a safe and clean environment in the summer and fall, visit GWU’s Coronavirus Response webpage or the Vaccine page. If you’re unsure of where to go to receive your vaccine, check with your state’s health department or use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Vaccine Finder.
We look forward to seeing you in person in a few short weeks!
