NYU is the latest university to require all students - undergraduate, graduate, and professional - to be fully vaccinated as a condition of having access to buildings for the 2021-22 academic year.

The university says on its website that its goal for the fall semester will be to have as many members of the campus community vaccinated as possible, facilitating the resumption of full, in-person campus activity and reducing the risk of infection on campus and within the local community.

Faculty and employees are strongly urged to get vaccinated as soon as they can, though this is not currently required.
