Despite a new bill signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine that prevents Ohio's public schools from mandating coronavirus vaccinations, Cleveland State University has confirmed students living on campus will still have to be fully vaccinated before they arrive this August.

DeWine signed House Bill 244 on Wednesday, which prohibits public schools and colleges in the state from requiring individuals to receive vaccines not granted full approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The law targets COVID-19 vaccinations (which have so far only received emergency approval) and takes effect in 90 days, and would also prohibit individuals who don't receive emergency use vaccines from being denied the chance to participate in school activities such as sports.

Last April, CSU announced it would require all students living on campus to be fully vaccinated. Since the new law doesn't take effect until Oct. 12, a university spokesperson told 3News that for now, the school's vaccine requirement will be in effect when students move in on Aug. 16.
