COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement:
Arcadia University requires all employees to be "up to date" with COVID-19 vaccines by your employment start date. This would include either:
- A full primary series of a FDA-approved vaccine and all of the boosters for which they are eligible in accordance with current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations.
- Or you received the full primary series of an FDA approved vaccine in the last 5 months and are therefore not eligible to receive a booster vaccine. After the 5 months conclude, you will need to receive a booster vaccine or will no longer be "up to date".
Arcadia will consider requests for exemptions from the vaccination policy due to medical conditions or religious belief. You will be required to provide proof of vaccination at the time of hire and/or on your first day of employment. Our vaccination protocols are subject to applicable laws and will be updated from time to time to reflect evolving conditions and federal, state, local, and other applicable health and safety guidelines.
