Penn State's Spring 2022 Plans

On Dec. 30, Penn State announced the University's plans for the spring 2022 semester. 

Share Your Vaccination Status

The University strongly encourages all students, faculty and staff to stay up to date with their vaccinations, including booster doses. Students at University Park, Commonwealth Campuses and Dickinson Law who have received their booster shot can upload their vaccination records through myUHS. Faculty and staff who have received their booster shot can upload an image of their COVID-19 vaccination card into Penn State’s Salesforce Health Cloud, a secure online platform for collecting and storing health data.

Testing for Students

Although required COVID-19 testing is being paused, testing will continue to be available to students who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19, are identified as a close contact of someone who tested positive for COVID-19, or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. 

For asymptomatic students living on or near the University Park campus, drop-in voluntary rapid antigen testing will continue to be available for the next few weeks at the White Building. The University will announce the final date for testing access at the White Building as pandemic conditions allow.
