COVID-19 IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT

California State University (CSU) announced on July 27 that all CSU faculty, staff, and students at any university location must be immunized against the virus that causes COVID-19. The CSU's COVID-19 vaccination requirement allows students and employees to either upload their vaccine record or apply for a medical/religious (or personal held beliefs) exemptionOpens in new window . Failure to upload a vaccine record or obtain an exception will result in a hold being placed on a student's account preventing enrollment in Spring courses. Important: Cal State Fullerton does not defer admissions. If a student is unable to enroll for the admitted term, they will need to reapply for a future term. For more information about the vaccine requirement, please visit the Student Wellness Immunization FAQ site.
