Fairleigh Dickinson University announced that students attending all three campuses in Hackensack, Teaneck, and Madison must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before the fall semester begins. The announcement comes just weeks after Rutgers became one of the first universities in the country to make the COVID-19 vaccine a requirement for enrollment.

FDU’s decision applies to students living in on-campus dorms, attending in-person classes or any in-person activities.
