Vaccines Required for Students

The Connecticut Board of Regents (BOR), which has oversight of QVCC and all the community colleges in Connecticut, voted to require students who participate in on-campus activities this fall to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. That means if you plan on attending class or extracurricular activities in person, you must first get vaccinated.
