Students are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend classes on site. In line with the IATF Resolution No. 168-B, the University no longer requires students to have medical insurance before partaking in limited in-person classes for AY 2022-2023, as noted by the Office of the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs. But it is strongly encouraged amongst students as it would serve as additional financial support in case of an illness, not just concerning COVID-19.
