UW Changes to face coverings, vaccination requirements and other COVID-19 updates 

On July 7, 2021, the University of Washington Office of the President shared important changes to COVID-19 requirements. Read the full message here.  

All medical students must verify their vaccination status as noted in the message from the President and Provost.

How to verify your vaccination status  
Starting today, we ask students to either verify that they have been fully vaccinated, or declare a medical, religious or philosophical exemption:  
Vaccination attestation information is private and confidential.  
  • Instructors may not ask their students about their vaccination status, nor will they have access to students’ records or be expected to verify students’ vaccination status. Instructors may broadly inform students that individuals who are not fully vaccinated need to wear face coverings in the classroom. 
A limited number of employees and students are exempt from the vaccination requirement. See the new vaccination requirement page for more information, including details on privacy protections and links to the attestation forms. 
 

In case you missed it
 
Here is a link to last week’s Student Newsletter. That issue included the following information for all students: 
  • New Scholarship Opportunity 
  • Listserv Rollover Next Week
