Welcome to all incoming graduate students!
As we start planning for the fall semester, all undergraduate and graduate students should plan to be on-campus for in-person instruction for the coming 2022-23 academic year. Please check back here for frequent updates.
Princeton University requires all new incoming graduate students to receive, and provide proof of having received, a COVID-19 vaccine authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the World Health Organization (WHO) prior to arrival. In addition, new incoming graduate students must receive a booster prior to arrival, or within 30 days after they become eligible. Students must upload their COVID19 record to the MYUHS portal.
