COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions

Students who choose not to be vaccinated will be permitted to study in person on the Weston campus but may be prevented from participating in any required off-site clinical placements.

While Regis no longer requires COVID-19 vaccination, it may still be mandated at many off-site clinical and preceptorship sites. Students must comply with the COVID-19 vaccination requirement(s) impose by your internship, clinical, fieldwork placement, or external site. Failure to comply with these requirements may prevent students from making academic progression.

COVID-19 immunization is required for students, faculty, and staff who learn and work within the Regis Dental Center and Autism Center.

Please contact your health care provider with specific questions about the COVID-19 vaccine. You can also consult the frequently asked questions from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health or guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

All students, faculty, and staff who live, learn and work on campus or attend in-person Regis events are required to monitor their symptoms.

If you are experiencing COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 you should not attend class, clinicals, labs, or campus events.

There will be a cost associated with obtaining COVID-19 testing through the Center for Health and Wellness. Patients need to be aware of how their health insurance works including the Regis student health insurance plan and what restrictions may apply.

The Regis campus is a mask optional environment, except at all times in the Regis College Dental Center and in the Center for Health and Wellness when seeing a provider for a sick visit.

• Regis strongly supports community members who choose to wear a mask.
• Please continue to follow public health guidance and wear a mask if you are at a higher risk or have concerns about your health.
• Masking in crowded indoor environments is encouraged, but not required.

The Office of Accessibility Services is the point of contact for student accommodations. Students can complete an online application to make a request.

Students can upload medical/professional documentation, or they may have it faxed to the office by their medical provider. A staff member from OSAS will review the documents and reach out to the student to set up an intake meeting.

Mental health professionals are on campus daily and services are available year-round. Resources are also available for remote students who cannot get to the Weston campus. Current students can get more information on SPIKE.
