Vaccine & Booster Requirements
MassArt is committed to ensuring academic continuity within a comprehensive and safe plan for campus activity. Full vaccination compliance is a critical element of that plan. Community members who come to campus are in vaccination compliance if they are either up to date with their vaccination or have been approved for a medical exemption or religious exemption.
Vaccine & boosters
To date, the following MassArt campus constituencies have been notified that they are required to be immunized against COVID-19 with an FDA or WHO authorized vaccine:
- All students
- Non-unit professionals
- Employees covered under the Massachusetts State College Association (MSCA Day) collective bargaining agreement
- Employees covered under the Association of Professional Administrators (APA) collective bargaining agreement
- Employees covered under the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) collective bargaining agreement
- Employees covered under the Division of Graduate and Continuing Education (DGCE) collective bargaining agreement
Students and employees may apply for a religious exemption or a medical exemption; exemption applications will be reviewed and approved by the College, consistent with its obligations under the law.
