U.Va. requiring COVID-19 boosters for all planning to live, work, study on Grounds this spring
Faculty and staff planning to return to Charlottesville for J-Term classes are also strongly encouraged to get boosted

All students, faculty and staff returning to Grounds for the spring semester are now required to get COVID-19 booster shots, per an email sent Tuesday afternoon by University President Jim Ryan, Provost Liz Magill, Chief Operating Officer J.J. Davis and K. Craig Kent, chief executive officer for U.Va. Health. All students and faculty must upload proof of a booster by Feb. 1 to their HealthyHoos and Workday portals, respectively.
Students and faculty taking part in J-term courses, which begin Jan. 3, are encouraged to get a booster shot prior to the start of classes. Any individual who has previously received a medical or religious exemption from the University’s vaccine requirement is also exempt from this booster requirement, though these individuals are instructed to continue compliance with testing and other public health guidelines.
