Vaccinations Information for New Employees

To protect the health and safety of community members on campus and to comply with the recommendations from public health authorities and the legislative requirements of the provincial government, Toronto Metropolitan University, like other post-secondary institutions in Ontario, has implemented a COVID-19 Vaccination policy. Effective May 1, 2022 enforcement of the vaccination policy is being suspended and proof of vaccination is no longer required prior to receiving an offer of employment.

As a condition of employment, Toronto Metropolitan University may require that employees obtain vaccinations against infectious diseases in the interests of occupational health and safety. In accordance with the emergency regulations issued by the Ontario government, new employees are required to submit their COVID-19 vaccination status prior to their first date of employment.

All community members are encouraged to keep COVID-19 vaccinations current, per public health guidelines

While COVID-19 vaccination is no longer required in order to access campus, community members are asked to keep their vaccination status in the TMU Safe app up to date. 

Keeping track of the vaccination status of all of our community members will allow the university to shift back to requiring vaccination to attend campus quickly and easily, should it become necessary. Please note that your ability to continue to participate in academic, work and  other activities at the university may be impacted if the requirement for mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 is reintroduced, based on the updated information you provide about your vaccination status.

How to submit vaccination status

Please note you will need to have your my.torontomu credentials set up in order to submit your vaccination status. There are two ways to submit your proof of vaccination:

Using the mobile app 

  1. Download the TMU Safe App, if you do not already have it.
  2. Open the TMU Safe app on your mobile device.
    • If you already have the TMU Safe app downloaded, you may need to update your settings to view the new option. To update your settings, tap the TMU logo at the top of your screen.  
  3. Select “COVID-19” > “Submit Proof of Vaccination”
    • Students, faculty and staff will be required to enter their TMU credentials. 
  4. Complete the vaccine disclosure process by selecting the option that best applies to you: 
    • I am fully vaccinated.
      • You will be required to submit proof of vaccination. 
    • I am not fully vaccinated. 
  5. Once complete, you will receive a badge which will reflect your vaccination status and a confirmation email. 

Using a web browser

We encourage all community members to download the TMU Safe app as it is the university’s tool for mass notification that will send alerts in urgent situations that pose an immediate safety or security risk to the community. 

If you do not wish to download the app, you can also access the required vaccine disclosure by:

  1. Visiting the TMU Safe COVID-19 Submit Proof of Vaccination webpage (external link) .
