Rhodes Will Charge $1,500 a Semester for Unvaccinated | Inside Higher Ed

Rhodes College will charge students who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 a $1,500 fee per semester, The Memphis Commercial Appeal reported.

The fee will cover testing costs.

“A campus-wide commitment to vaccination will mean that we can move towards full capacity and reduced masking allowing for the intentional in-person campus life experience that we all love about Rhodes,” said Meghan Harte Weyant, vice president for student life. “We hope our students will choose to be vaccinated to keep themselves, our campus and community safe.”
