FAQs

Q: I would like to claim a medical or religious exemption for getting a COVID-19 vaccine before returning to campus, what should I do?

A: Students who need to submit a medical or religious exemption for vaccines may do so via the Patient Portal. It is currently open for incoming students. Instructions include:

Log in to the Patient Portal with your SU NetID and password.
Select “Forms” from the main menu.
Under Student Forms, select the “Medical-Religious Waiver” form to print the waiver to sign.
Once you have signed the waiver and added the required supporting documentation, select “Upload” on the home screen.
Follow the upload instructions.
In the drop-down section, select “Medical or Religious Waiver Form.”
Select the completed waiver file to upload.

The exemption form only needs to be submitted once during your time at Syracuse University College of Law. This means that should vaccine requirements change, your exemption form will continue to be active.

For a medical exemption, a note from your doctor should be uploaded. For religious exemption, a statement from you explaining the request for the exemption is sufficient. You can choose to upload one or both.

You may also contact Barnes Health Center at 315.443.8000 and press 5 for Covid-19 related questions or to confirm with them directly.
