Dear student:

Welcome to your educational home! Inter American University of Puerto Rico is committed to the health and safety of its community members. As part of our plan for reopening in-person learning, we share with you the requirements regarding the COVID-19 , which will be in effect for the 2021-22 academic year: • All students must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with a vaccine authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), before participating in any in-person activity in the academic units, extension centers, PK-12 academies, and centers outside of Puerto Rico. • If you are not vaccinated at this time, we have five centers available in the following campuses: Aguadilla, Bayamón, Guayama, Metro, and San Germán. For more information about our centers, press the following link. • For a student to be considered fully vaccinated, at least two weeks must have elapsed after receiving the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine or the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. • International students coming from jurisdictions outside the United States, will have to present evidence of being vaccinated against COVID-19 with any vaccine approved by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition to the three above, these include: OXFORD/ ASTRAZENECA, SERUM INSTITUTE OF INDIA: COVISHIELD, SINOPHARM (BEIJING): BBIBP-CorV and SINOVAC: CORONAVAC. • International students under 21 years old must bring the corresponding vaccination documents and authorizations already signed by the person in charge (father, mother, or guardian), at the time of entering the United States. • All students must prove they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and upload their evidence of vaccination to the virtual platform provided by the University for that purpose. • In the event that you have medical or religious reasons that do not allow you to be vaccinated, you can request an exemption by accessing the following link. The University will reach out to you to inform you of the steps to follow.
