On April 23, 2021, University System of Maryland (USM) Chancellor Jay A. Perman announced a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all USM campuses, including The University of Baltimore.
On April 28, President Kurt L. Schmoke announced to the campus community that if you plan to be on campus in the fall, the deadline for receiving your full vaccination against COVID-19 (all shots, plus the CDC-recommended waiting period of two weeks after your final dose) is Aug. 1, 2021. This allows sufficient time prior to School of Law orientation (Aug. 16-20) and the start of law classes (Aug. 23), as well as UBalt orientation (Aug. 24-26) and the start of undergraduate and graduate classes (Aug. 30). With a mix of in-person and online classes scheduled across the University, this timeline allows us to adequately prepare for the start of the semester.
