The University of
Akron is committed to providing a safe environment for all students and employees. The University endeavors to protect the health, welfare
and safety of all students, employees and visitors on our campus. As such, the University will require a pre-employment background check and
proof of COVID-19 vaccination for all applicants selected for employment.
Effective December 13, 2021, new hires must
present proof of COVID-19 vaccination, if vaccines are available and the employee is eligible, at time of hire. If a new employee is not
