An Alamance County Health Department worker fills a syringe with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine on Jan. 18, 2021 at The Career and Technical Education Center in Burlington, North Carolina. The health department administers both Moderna and Pfizer vaccine on different days depending on supplies.

Elon University will continue to require all students to receive a COVID-19 vaccination and booster shot for the fall 2022 semester, according to an email from Dean of Students Jana Lynn Patterson. Students must update their vaccine information on the PhoenixHealth porta l by July 1.

Students will also have to update their medical insurance information by the same date. According to Patterson, all Elon students are required to be in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — meaning they must either have a certain standard of health insurance or pay a tax penalty, if they are a U.S. citizen. There are no insurance options provided directly by Elon University. Patterson recommended that students in need of an insurance plan use the affordable care website to find an external option.

Elon adjunct faculty raise concerns over missing professor names on OnTrack

With the approach of spring semester’s end, students scour OnTrack to build their academic schedules, looking at the times available and selecting their preferred professors. Senior Alex Campbell said she noticed this past semester that adjunct professors, who are hired on a contractual basis each semester or year, she previously had classes with were not appearing on OnTrack. “It’s pretty upsetting because two of my favorite professors are adjuncts that I’ve had classes with in the past,” Campbell said. “Since the change, I can’t purposefully take classes with them because I don’t know what classes they’re even teaching because they don’t show up.”
