For Students

All students will be required to receive the COVID-19 vaccination for Fall Semester 2021. Additional information regarding the vaccine requirement for international students will be shared soon. Please click here for the locations of vaccination sites at Tulane and throughout the area.

Declining A Vaccination

Students may decline the vaccination for reasons consistent with Louisiana state vaccine laws by submitting a Vaccine Declination Form. Students must submit proof of vaccination or a Declination Form by July 15.

Report Your Vaccination!

If you have completed the full vaccine sequence from an entity outside of Tulane, please update your vaccination records through the Campus Health Patient Portal. If you have been vaccinated at a Tulane Vaccine Clinic, you do not need to update your records through the Patient Portal.

City of New Orleans: Modified Phase Three

Because of a low positivity rate and the availability of coronavirus vaccines, the City of New Orleans has issued new COVID-19 guidelines, effective May 28, 2021. Tulane University will adhere to all the restrictions of this phase, which can be found here.

Mask Requirement on Tulane University Property

In compliance with Louisiana Department of Health and CDC Guidance, Tulane will no longer require fully vaccinated students, faculty, staff, visitors or vendors to wear masks indoors or outdoors while on any Tulane campus — including residence halls, classrooms, dining halls, offices, recreation centers, COVID-19 testing centers, and campus buildings.

Those who have not received the vaccine are required to continue wearing masks on all Tulane University campuses and property.
