The deadline to upload proof of your COVID-19 vaccinations including booster or exemption form to your Secure Patient Portal is August 15th, 2022. Students who are not compliant with the vaccination/booster requirement will have a hold placed on their account. A hold on your account would prevent you from ordering transcripts, registering for or withdrawing from classes, or viewing your grades once they’re uploaded.
More information regarding UP's COVID-19 vaccination policy can be found on the Pilots Prevent website.

Exemptions expire at the end of every academic year.
Students who submitted an approved vaccination exemption form in the 2021-2022 school year that wish to renew their exemption for the 2022-2023 school year should complete and submit a COVID-19 Vaccination Exemption Renewal Form before the August 15th deadline. Upload that form to the Secure Patient Portal by following steps 2-7 for submitting a vaccine exemption form.
Students who submitted an approved vaccination exemption form in the 2021-2022 school year that have since been fully vaccinated should follow the instructions to upload proof of their COVID-19 vaccinations/booster to their Secure Patient Portal before the August 15th deadline.
The only way to have a COVID-19 vaccination hold removed from your account is to get compliant with the University's COVID-19 vaccination policy. Please upload proof of your vaccinations/booster or a completed exemption form to your Secure Patient Portal as quickly as possible to avoid any delays or other issues prior to registration/graduation.
Please note, it takes time for a hold to be removed, and it cannot happen immediately. Review of students' documentation and hold removals only take place during business hours of Monday through Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm. Holds are not removed on the weekends. Holds will be removed in the order the documentation is received by the Health Center.
The purpose of the involvement of a healthcare provider in non-medical exemptions is to ensure that a student is aware of the risks and benefits of vaccination including how vaccination can impact not only their personal health and safety, but the health of the greater community. The student should also receive counseling on how to stay safe on campus if unable to be vaccinated. A healthcare provider is best equipped to have this conversation with a student.
