Strong, safe, healthy, together.
Carthage is planning for a fully in-person student experience for the 2021-22 academic year. We anticipate a full return to in-person classes and activities including residential life, athletics, fine arts, student research, and other extracurricular and co-curricular opportunities.
To accomplish these goals, Carthage will require vaccines for all students, faculty, and staff, and provide three categories of exceptions to this requirement: medical, religious, and personal conviction.
