COVID-19 Vaccine Requirements

Vaccination provides the best protection against severe illness from COVID-19 and provides the best chance for our community to participate in the daily activities that are so critical to college life.

  • All undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in on-campus classes and/or conducting research in on-campus labs, whether they live on campus or off, are required to be up to date on their COVID-19 vaccination, including boosters.

  • As with our other vaccination requirements, there is a process for students to submit a request for medical or religious exemption via the Student Vaccination Exemption form. 
  • WPI will give support and guidance to our international students who may have difficulty accessing vaccines approved by the World Health Organization.
