Unlike recent announcements from WSU, UW, PLU, Western WA U, CWU and some other universities, Eastern Washington University in Cheney will not require students to be vaccinated.
More specifically, the University is not making it a requirement have proof of being vaccinated to attend in-person classes or live on campus. Eastern’s leadership team is considering easing some restrictions for students who are vaccinated and there may be areas of campus and some activities where a vaccination requirement is implemented.
