Ontario university will not allow unvaccinated students to take online courses this fall

An Ontario university says it will not allow students to take part in online learning courses this fall if they have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

According to Wilfrid Laurier University’s latest COVID-19 vaccination policy, students are required to disclose their vaccination status by Oct. 8. Those who refuse to do so, as well as students who do not get both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, could face the following consequences:

• Being unable to attend Laurier’s campuses or locations

• Having access to MyLearningSpace suspended for fall term courses

• De-registration from fall in-person courses
