In-person classes will once again be offered at the University of Manitoba in the coming winter term and students and staff will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to attend.
The university also said unvaccinated employees and students who have not received an approved exemption will be placed on unpaid leave or deregistered from in-person classes this winter. There will not be any COVID-19 rapid testing alternatives available.
School officials say these measures highlight the university's commitment to the health and safety of the community.
According to U of M, 81 per cent of its students and 72 per cent of its employees have uploaded proof of vaccination so far.
