The website of the Permanent Commission for Entrance Examinations (Comvest) changed its orientation this Thursday (16), after the state government banned the vaccine passport requirement this Wednesday (15). Proof of the Covid-19 vaccine is no longer required in SP Tony Winston/Ministry of Health The Permanent Commission for Unicamp Entrance Examinations (Comvest) changed this Thursday (16) the orientation for freshmen of the 2023 Entrance Examination on the requirement of proof of the Covid-19 vaccine. The document is no longer on the list of mandatory items for students to attend classes. Despite the measure, the State University of Campinas – which also has campuses in Piracicaba (SP) and Limeira (SP) – stressed that it continues to recommend strict compliance with the vaccination schedule. “It is no longer mandatory to prove the vaccination cycle against Covid-19 to attend classes, but the Scientific Committee for Contingency of the Coronavirus at Unicamp recommends strict compliance with the vaccination schedule and the continuity of insertion of vaccination data in the Board’s systems (DAC) and the General Directorate of Human Resources (DGRH), respectively, with the aim of carrying out epidemiological surveillance of the disease on their campuses”, says the Comvest text. Campinas follows the state’s decision and prohibits the passport requirement for the vaccine against Covid The change took place after the state government decided, this Wednesday (15), to prohibit the requirement for the vaccine passport in public and private establishments, including educational institutions. On the same day, Unicamp informed that it will change rules that require proof from students and civil servants, but without detailing these changes. “The rectory of Unicamp informs that it will start studies aiming at adapting the university to the recent decree of the state government”, said the institution this Thursday. The norm existed since 2021 at the university. Freshman enrollment began on February 7, at the first call, and this week the second call took place. Proof of vaccination, however, was not required for this vacancy reservation, but within a period of 30 days along with other personal and academic documentation of the student. Regarding the use of protective masks against Covid, which was mandatory, Unicamp told g1 that it will also study whether this protocol will be changed. The use of masks was also required during the Unicamp entrance exam Júlio César Costa/g1 Classes start on March 2 There are still other calls planned for candidates who took the entrance exam.

According to the university, enrollments were from February to April of that year, and part of the students did not provide proof of immunization. Just before classes started in March, 9.1% of students were still pending. Of the total of 1,300 dismissed, 73.68% of those dismissed were undergraduates, a percentage that included some of those recently approved in the Vestibular 2022. Where were the dismissed students: Undergraduate/Technology: 966 Lato Sensu: 8 Stricto Sensu: 337 The g1 questioned Unicamp to find out if the change in the vaccine passport requirement could open up any loopholes for these former students to appeal, but there was still no response. The Dean defended, at the time, that dismissals could not be considered expulsions of students, because the rules adopted by the representative bodies of the university were followed, “in which professors, technical-administrative staff and students participate”. The university has around 35,000 students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses, in addition to 1,934 professors and 6,489 employees.
