Proof of immunization can be uploaded to The Student Health Portal, a secure medical records system. 

 

You will not be able to begin attending courses if you have not submitted your immunization records.

Requests for Immunization Exemptions – Medical or Religious

Students who would like to apply for a medical or religious exemption for any of the immunization requirements listed above may do so via the Student Health Portal, a secure medical records system. Please complete the Immunization Exemption form and submit with accompanying documentation. Review of exemption requests can take up to approximately five business days, so please submit your request with adequate time for review. Questions regarding this process should be directed to shac@mville.edu

Students who are enrolled in clinical or student teaching programs may be required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination as required by their off-site location. Off-site clinical or teaching placements may not allow for medical or religious exemptions at their facilities, and in such case they do not, the College cannot ensure that a placement that does not require a COVID-19 vaccine will be available. Students with questions about off-site clinical or teaching placements should direct them to the School of Nursing & Health Sciences or School of Education.

Manhattanville will consider all applications for religious and medical exemptions for mandatory vaccinations. Students must submit supporting documentation with any exemption request. The submitted information will be evaluated and a determination will be made on a case-by-case basis by appropriate College personnel. Only those who qualify after a review of the request will be granted an exemption. The College may request additional information after evaluating documentation submitted by the student.

Those who knowingly submit false information in pursuit of this exemption are in violation of the Student Code of Conduct and will be subject to disciplinary action.
