This is to advise that in order to maintain a safe living environment for our staff and students, persons wishing to reside in a hall of residence, including 138 Student Living facilities on the Mona Campus, must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19.
The UWI Mona's COVID-19 Response
Regional Headquarters, Jamaica, Friday, February 28, 2020. Once again, The UWI is launching a Task Force to assist with the mobilisation of the region's public health providers to deal with an incoming virus. Four years ago, the Zika virus triggered the response; today it is COVID-19.
Again, the Task Force will be chaired by Professor Clive Landis, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Undergraduate Studies and former Director of the George Alleyne Chronic Disease Research Centre, who has considerable experience in the field of Caribbean public health.
Application Deadline Extended until May 19, 2021
We understand the many hurdles prospective students and their families have had to overcome due to changes within school communities islandwide and the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-19. With these disruptions in mind, The UWI Mona Campus has taken the decision to extend the application deadline until May 19 for the semester beginning August 2021.
