Students and staff will also be exempt from testing required for graduation ceremonies, said Robbins. “This is essentially a vaccine passport,” said Robbins. “If you re a student, you don t have to test and for upcoming events, we re going to be testing students and faculty members to go to commencement, if you ve got that green check with ‘vx,’ you re good to go.
