Students who don't follow college COVID-19 vaccine mandates are starting to face consequences. A handful of schools are charging unvaccinated students thousands of dollars in COVID-19 testing fees to remain on-campus this fall during the pandemic. And some schools are imposing extra punishments: Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, announced that along with fining unvaccinated students, it would cut off their campus Wi-Fi access.

Now, schools are starting to disenroll unvaccinated students. Last week the University of Virginia disenrolled 49 students who didn't comply with the school’s vaccine mandate, announced May 20. Students had until July 1 to comply. In an email, the school said 99% of UVA’s students were in compliance with the mandate. The 1% who was not totaled 238 students, but only 49 of those had actually signed up for fall classes. Xavier University of Louisiana, a private Catholic HBCU in New Orleans, confirmed that it had also started disenrolling unvaccinated students on Monday, the first day of classes.

University spokeswoman Ashley Irvin said the school of almost 3,400 students won’t have final numbers on how many students were disenrolled for at least a couple weeks. Rowan University, a public school in Glassboro, New Jersey with an enrollment of just under 16,000, announced Monday that with the full FDA approval of the Pfizer vaccine, students have until Sept. 7 to get their first shot. After that day, students who can’t prove vaccination or have valid declination form are at risk of having their "accounts put on hold, removal from residence halls (if applicable) and eventually, removal from the University."
