All SUNY Poly students who have a physical presence on campus are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have an approved exemption. This mandate is in effect for any SUNY Poly student coming to any SUNY Poly campus or facility for any reason during the 2022-23 academic year.

If you have not and do not plan to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, you must drop your in-person classes via BannerWeb. You are permitted to enroll in online courses only (no in-person classes) and are not permitted to access any in-person campus activities or services. You must complete the Fully Remote Attestation.

No remote learning options are available for students who do not want to receive a COVID-19 vaccine outside of any courses already offered remotely. Students may not request a change in course modality to avoid receiving a COVID-19 vaccination, and faculty cannot accommodate such requests received. In addition, students should be aware that the SUNY tuition and fee refund policy remains in effect for any student who refuses to receive a vaccine and is not approved for an exemption.

Please review the academic calendar so that you are aware of tuition liability and add/drop deadlines. If dropping your in-person classes results in moving from full-time to part-time status, please contact Financial Aid if you have any questions about your aid.

Students may request an exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for medical or religious reasons. Any SUNY Poly student with a legitimate and documentable medical or religious reason why they cannot receive the COVID-19 vaccine should submit an exemption request by utilizing the medical (available from wellnesscenter@sunypoly.edu) or religious exemption (available from studentaffairs@sunypoly.edu) request forms. Students whose exemption request is denied will have five calendar days after receiving the exemption denial to receive their first vaccine dose and provide documentation to wellnesscenter@sunypoly.edu.
