Students who are taking a course at any of Pace’s campuses must obtain a Pace ID.

Vaccination Compliance
All students who plan to come to campus must be vaccinated (with allowances for religious and medical exemptions).
View all immunization compliance requirements.
Vaccine records must be uploaded to the University’s Confidential Patient Portal. Your CDC vaccination card serves as an official COVID-19 vaccination record, as does any other document (including an official email received after vaccination, or an electronic medical record) that includes your name, date(s) of vaccination, vaccine manufacturer, and lot numbers. All submitted vaccination records must be in English. On-campus students are required to upload a vaccine record.
