Submit your proof of vaccination by Monday if you are accessing campus this fall
To: All faculty and staff
On Wednesday, September 8, the university released details on the process to submit proof of vaccination.
While the process to submit proof has been live for just one week, there has been great uptake by our community and most individuals who have completed the process indicated they are fully vaccinated. This speaks to our community’s continued commitment to supporting the health and safety measures put in place to limit the spread of COVID-19 on our campus, and we want to say thank you to those who have already completed this process.
Please forward your proof of completion to your direct supervisor
In the app, you are required to input your supervisor’s email address. Unfortunately, at this time the confirmation email is not automatically sent to your supervisor. We are working on including this functionality soon. As a result, faculty and staff are required to forward the email they receive after completing the process on the RyersonSafe app to their supervisor/Ryerson contact. This proof of completion will include the QR code and vaccine status.
Key policy dates
