(Online only students are exempt from the State Board of Health mandate.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While class registration begins Nov. 1, 2021, it continues through January at NSHE\u2019s institutions, meaning students who are currently not vaccinated can still do so and then would be able to register for classes between now and January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReceiving the COVID-19 vaccination is the scientifically proven most effective way to protect the health and safety of the NSHE community and end the pandemic,\u201d NSHE Chancellor Melody Rose said. \u201cI want to thank our public higher education community for continuing to adjust to the challenges brought on by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. The health and wellbeing of NSHE\u2019s students, faculty, staff, and community continues to be our highest priority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The registration timeline for NSHE institutions is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>14, 2022 \u2013 Registration deadline (no late fee) for UNLV and UNR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24, 2022 \u2013 Registration deadline (no late fee) for CSN, GBC, NSC, TMCC, WNC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can still complete their class work for the 2021 fall semester if they are not currently vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NSHE\u2019s institutions continue to work with local medical leaders and health districts to regularly host free COVID-19 vaccination clinics on campus, as capacity allows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, the current mask mandate remains in place as an additional form of protection for the public higher education community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1126,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[33,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1151","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-33","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1151"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nshe.nevada.edu\/system-administration\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
