COVID-19 Vaccinations for Fanuchånan 2021
To: UOG Students
From: Thomas W. Krise, President
Date: Aug. 13, 2021
Håfa Adai, UOG Students:
On behalf of the Board of Regents and the administration of the University of Guam, I welcome you back to our campus for the Fanuchånan 2021 semester. We are excited for this new academic year because we are returning to in-person classes.
COVID-19 Vaccinations
As our University prepares for in-person learning and the full re-opening of the campus, we remain steadfastly committed to the health and safety of our students and employees. Through President’s Directive 2021-02, I have required that all UOG employees be fully vaccinated or have an approved accommodation by Sept. 24, 2021.
Below are requirements for all students for Fanuchånan 2021:
- Students taking in-person classes for Fanuchånan 2021 MUST be fully vaccinated or have an approved accommodation submitted to the Student Health Office using the secure online HIPAA-compliant form at https://url.uog.edu/submit-covid-info by Sept. 24, 2021.
- Students attending in-person classes who are not currently vaccinated and do not have an approved accommodation will be required to receive their first COVID-19 vaccination by Aug. 25, 2021. Proof of vaccination should be submitted to the secure online HIPAA-compliant form at https://url.uog.edu/submit-covid-info.
- NOTE: Because students taking in-person classes are required to be fully vaccinated or have an approved accommodation, weekly negative COVID-19 test results will no longer be accepted.
- Students who are seeking an accommodation must submit evidence of their medical reason, disability, or their sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance to the EEO/ADA/Title IX office. Please contact Mr. Larry Gamboa, Acting EEO/ADA/Title IX Director, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, at (671) 735-2971 or lgamboa@triton.uog.edu.
- Students who are not fully vaccinated or do not have an accommodation may still attend classes online. Visit https://advisor.uog.edu to view the latest course schedule.
Important information regarding Fanuchånan 2021 and links to vaccination clinics and testing sites are also available online at www.uog.edu/fanuchanan2021.
NOTE: These requirements will be updated should the Governor or DPHSS change guidance or procedures regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can I opt to take my classes only in an online, hybrid, or hyflex format?
Only some classes are being offered in online, hybrid, and/or hyflex formats. Check the Course Schedule or Web Advisor to see the format for each class. While you could register only for courses that are online, hybrid, or hyflex, there are likely other courses you need that will only be offered in-person. Please contact your academic advisor for assistance in planning your schedule.
Students attending only online classes do not need to submit a vaccination record UNLESS they plan to come to attend classes on-campus.

Students will need to provide a COVID-19 Vaccination Record Card (a copy or photo is acceptable) indicating full vaccination (one or two doses, depending on the vaccination brand received) that is stamped or signed by a CDC-enrolled COVID-19 vaccination provider.

To book an appointment, call (671) 735-7143 or send an email to immunizationprogram@dphss.guam.gov. Requests should be submitted five to seven days in advance.
Those who were fully vaccinated at one of the enrolled COVID-19 provider clinics or pharmacies may also make a request for verification of their COVID-19 vaccination through their private health care provider.

All in-person classes will be set up so that students and the instructor will be spaced six feet apart. Space is limited, so students are advised to register early.
