SUNY Student COVID-19 Vaccine Policy:
The SUNY student COVID-19 Vaccine Policy requires that students who have a physical presence on campus must provide evidence of the initial course of COVID vaccinations. Students are considered fully vaccinated for the initial course of vaccination (1) two weeks after receiving the second dose in a two dose COVID-19 vaccine series or (2) two weeks after receiving a single dose in a one dose COVID-19 vaccine series. All students are strongly encouraged to stay up to date on their vaccinations, including obtaining any booster authorized by the FDA and recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. While not requiring a booster at this time, SUNY reserves the authority to impose a requirement for any booster at any time as a result of changes in local conditions or as a result of requirements imposed by Federal, State, or local authorities.
Students may request an exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement for medical or religious reasons. Exemption requests are evaluated on a case-by-case basis by a committee; they are not automatically granted. Outcomes of requests will be communicated through our secure messaging system. All students who are exempt must participate in the mandatory surveillance testing program. Students with exemptions may be excluded from all in-person classes and activities at the college’s discretion should a COVID-19 outbreak occur on campus. SUNY Cobleskill may impose additional restrictions as needed.
