Dear Colleagues:
As you know, SUNY has directed that all students receive a COVID-19 vaccination after the vaccine receives full FDA approval. The exceptions are students who have an approved exemption request (religious or medical) and those who will not have any physical presence on campus.
We’re writing to request your help in getting students who will have NO physical presence on campus to fill out an attestation of that fact so that we know their status and have an accurate account of which students need to participate in surveillance testing, etc.
If you could please forward this message to any student who is fully remote (ABD, internship, thesis research, registered in an exclusively online program and who will have no physical presence on campus, etc.) and ask them to fill this form out immediately (no later than Aug. 24), that would be greatly appreciated.

It is important to note that no physical presence means that the student will not enter campus at all: no stopping in to use the library, no travel to campus for a thesis defense or meeting with a graduate or dissertation director, etc. Any student in these situations should get vaccinated and submit proof of vaccination as soon as possible. Please remind students that if they take no action, their course enrollment will be terminated within 35 days of FDA approval because we will not have a valid exemption or waiver on file.
Students who have submitted their proof of full vaccination according to campus guidelines do not need to take any action since they have already fulfilled the requirement.
Thanks for your assistance in getting this message out to your students as soon as possible – the consequences of inaction will be significant and we’d all like to avoid them.
With thanks for your help and best wishes,
