That’s because of its voluntary VaxMax program, which has students and employees self-report through an online portal if they have been fully vaccinated or not.
If the university’s on-campus student population reaches 80% or higher being fully vaccinated by August 1, NSU will “DROP THE MASK”.
It is important that everyone log in and self-report their status, even if they do not want to receive the vaccine.
It is important to note that the “Return of the Sharks” to in-person campus life will take place whether or not we reach the 80% mark of on-campus students self-reporting they are fully vaccinated—it just may look a little different.
However, if an NSU campus location reaches that 80% threshold of on-campus students self-reporting they are fully vaccinated, these COVID-19 protocols will be dropped, thus allowing a RETURN TO NORMAL.
