PLEASE NOTE: The information below pertains ONLY to the Two-Year Certificate Program. It does not apply to students participating in the online Three-Week Preparatory Course.
The Office of Continuing Education and the Professional Golf Turf Management School must abide by Rutgers University COVID Policies, including Section 60.1.36, which states:
All University Affiliates (“program participants”) must provide proof of COVID-19 Immunization or provide a negative COVID-19 PCR or lab-processed antigen test meeting requirements of this Policy. In the event that a regular/recurring COVID-19 vaccine becomes recommended by the CDC (similar to an annual flu shot), this Policy makes such regular/recurring vaccination or negative COVID-19 PCR or lab-processed antigen test mandatory for the individuals referenced above.
If an individual is going to be on campus for more than seven consecutive days due to the nature of their affiliation with the University, then a negative PCR test or lab-processed antigen test must be provided at commencement of the activity and then provided weekly after the initial PCR or lab-processed antigen test.
Physical vaccination card and/or negative COVID-19 PCR or lab-processed antigen test and a valid photo ID will need to be presented at the door before classes begin.
To ensure adequate time for an immune response to occur, a person is considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after completion of a two-dose mRNA series (Pfizer or Moderna) or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
For those submitting to the required weekly testing, you will also need to provide the required form of proof of a negative test every Monday before the first class of the day for every proceeding week of the program.
