About 700 Cal Poly students have indicated they will seek an exemption from the California State University system’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier told CalCoastNews.
Students have until Monday to notify Cal Poly of their vaccination status or plans or their intention to seek an exemption. With an expected enrollment of around 22,000 students for the next school year, so far about 3% of Cal Poly students are requesting a vaccine exemption.
University rules require that students living on campus have been fully immunized by September 14. All other students planning to enter the Cal Poly campus must have been fully immunized by September 20.
Students can benefit from exemptions for medical or religious reasons. Those granted an exemption must take a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arriving on campus. Then, they will have to take a test again when they arrive on campus and will also have to participate in surveillance tests twice a week.
