The University of British Columbia Okanagan has decided to stop weekly COVID-19 testing.
Testing has been required for unvaccinated students, staff, and faculty since September 2021. Starting Jan 1, unvaccinated students who attended in-person classes and failed the weekly test would be placed on an “academic hold”.
The decision to stop testing quietly started on March 1, at both the Okanagan and Vancouver campuses.
