[Wsssc] Vaccine & Philosophical/Personal Exemption

[Claire Peinado]

Hi All,

We’re also maintaining the philosophical exemption option for now, but expect that may change with further updates from the Governor.  As to checking in with student exemptions, we may follow-up up on medical exemptions to the extent there may be disability accommodations to support.

Another question:  what are your attestation deadlines for students?  We originally slated ours for September 20th, prior to the first day of Fall quarter.  But with the new October 18th deadline for employees, we’re planning on aligning the student attestation with this same October date.

Thank you!
Claire

Another quick question. Are we expected to follow up in any way with students who check off an exemption? I know the college must follow-up with employees who check either of the two exemptions (glad I'm not in HR), but hoping just a self attestation for students with no follow up necessary is our expected process. Am I correct in my assumption?

All,

Have any of your colleges decided to drop the philosophical/personal exemption for students, consistent with the latest proclamation’s approach to employees? Feel free to contact me off list as well. Thank you!
