Connecticut College requires employees to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. This includes the booster vaccine.

Additional COVID-19 safety protocols such as participation in weekly testing may be required of faculty, staff and students who have approved vaccine exemptions.
Review of applications will start on January 9, 2023.
