COVID-19 Resources/2022-2023 FAQs
Welcome to SUNY Ulster for the 2022-2023 academic year. Here are FAQs highlights for safe protocols on campus as we support the learning efforts of our students and community.
All SUNY Ulster students attending in person classes on the Stone Ridge, or Kingston Center campus of SUNY Ulster are required to provide proof of vaccination, or obtain a medical or religious exemption from such a requirement. Students are strongly encouraged to keep up to date with COVID-19 booster recommendations outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
SUNY Ulster students taking coursework offsite must follow the guidelines and requirements of the host site.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are not willing to be vaccinated, you will not be able to register for on-campus classes as now that SUNY Ulster’s vaccination requirement has been implemented and should you be administratively withdrawn, you will not be able to get a refund after SUNY Ulster’s approved 2022-2023 Tuition and Refund period has passed.
In November 2021, the SUNY Ulster Board of Trustees approved policy 4.20 - SUNY Ulster Coronavirus Vaccination Policy. This policy mandates that all employees are vaccinated by December 23, 2021, or receive a medical or religious exemption from such policy.
We look forward to continuing our commitment to providing a safe learning environment for our students, faculty, staff, and community.
What is SUNY Ulster doing to protect the community from COVID-19?
Students and employees with approved medical or religious exemptions from the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will no longer be required to participate in weekly surveillance testing. Testing will still be offered for students and employees who would like to participate on a voluntary basis. On-campus testing remains available for all SUNY Ulster students and employees who are experiencing symptoms related to COVID-19.
