COVID Fully Remote Instruction Mode Exemption Form

The Fully Remote Instruction Student Exemption is term-based.  A student registering for fully remote courses during a subsequent semester must submit a new Fully Remote Instruction Exemption Request Form to Health Services.  If approved, a “COVID-19 Approved Remote EXMTN” (CVR) hold will be added to the requested semester allowing enrollment in fully remote courses for that term only.  A “Missing COVID-19 Vaccine Proof” (CVD) hold will remain on the record, preventing enrollment in future terms. 

If you are approved for a Covid-19 Vaccine Fully Remote Instruction Exemption Request, you will be automatically dropped from any classes you are registered for that have an in-person component including hybrid instructional mode courses. Students registered in an online degree program are automatically excluded from the requirement and do not need to complete the request form.
