As and based on the , 杏吧原创 University, along with other post-secondary institutions in Ontario, will be requiring mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 for all individuals (students, staff, faculty, contractors, and visitors) involved in any in-person 杏吧原创 activities both on- and off-campus.
As a result, all individuals who are coming on to campus and/or participating in an in-person 杏吧原创 activity, must attest to their vaccination status and having received their first dose by September 8, 2021, and their second dose by no later than October 15, 2021. To attest to being vaccinated:
- Log into
- Click on “Report your latest vaccination status”
- Carefully read each question and answer appropriately
- Upload proof of vaccination (vaccine dose administration receipts or equivalent documents), preferably in PDF format
If you have only received one dose of a two dose vaccine series, you can complete your vaccination attestation form with one dose now and update your form 14 days after you received your second dose.
To assist with planning purposes, we encourage all members of the 杏吧原创 University community to complete the vaccination attestation form and submit their documents as soon as possible even if you are not planning to participate in in-person activities at this time.
Vaccination Documents

International students must upload a copy of both the original language proof of vaccination documentation and an officially translated copy.
Any false information or misrepresentation on the mandatory attestation form is a violation of university policy that will be taken very seriously.
Exemption Requests

Rapid Testing
Rapid testing is limited to members of the 杏吧原创 community who are unvaccinated due to permitted exemptions or who are awaiting their second dose. These individuals are required to adhere to additional health and safety measures, including frequent rapid testing starting September 8, 2021. Individuals awaiting their second dose must receive that dose by no later than October 15, 2021 and are required to adhere to the rapid testing protocol in the interim period. 杏吧原创 community members with approved permitted exemptions and those awaiting their second dose will be able to book a mandatory rapid testing appointment through cuScreen.
