Here is some important COVID-19 related information relevant to international students arriving at the University of Maryland campus for the Fall 2021 semester. All students attending in-person classes are required to get vaccinated against COVID-19 with one of the vaccines approved by the WHO before coming to the UMD campus. If you get vaccinated by the time you enter the US, you will need to provide a proof of vaccination. If you enter the US but you are not vaccinated, you will be required to quarantine for 7 days.
