EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern University will be requiring students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 for the upcoming school year.

The school sent an email Wednesday saying they are requiring vaccines for students for the 2021-2022 school year. Faculty and staff will not be required to be vaccinated.

“COVID-19 vaccines are the most important tool to help end the pandemic, and requiring students to be vaccinated will best support the health of our community and position us for in-person classroom and co-curricular activities for the Fall Term,” university officials said in a statement.

Students who are not vaccinated, and who do not qualify for an exemption, will not be able to register for fall classes.
