Covid Vaccination/Exemption:  

  • All SU students must be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and report it to the university prior to arriving on campus. Students with documented medical, religious, or philosophical exemptions will be accommodated and not required to receive the vaccine. 
  • Students (non-law) seeking an exemption must submit a completed exemption form signed by a healthcare provider to the Student Health Center. Exemption forms and instructions are available here. International students or those coming from areas where vaccines are not available will receive assistance accessing the vaccine upon arrival and will be required to follow enhanced safety protocols until fully vaccinated. 
  • Register your vaccination here.
