Dear Students,

We are so looking forward to seeing all of you on campus soon! As you prepare to come to campus, please remember that in order to attend classes or move into your campus residence you must submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination to Counseling, Health and Wellness Services by Monday, Aug. 2.

You can review and update your Health History form via the CHWS portal:

  1. Click on Medical Clearances.
  2. Look for COVID-19 Vaccine, and click Update.
  3. Enter date(s) of your COVID-19 vaccine(s).
  4. Upload image of your vaccination card.
  5. Click Done to complete the process.

If you have elected not to receive vaccinations for medical or religious reasons, you must complete the immunization waiver and acknowledgment form, provide either the medical or religious exemption form, and meet with a CHWS representative to discuss appropriate health and safety measures, including the wearing of masks on campus. Those who receive exemptions are required to wear masks on campus in indoor settings, and those who are fully vaccinated may choose to wear masks if they are more comfortable doing so, especially in crowded areas on or off campus. Please note that although vaccination rates on campus are already high, they are considerably lower throughout Pierce County.

If you have any questions, please contact CHWS as soon as possible. We are happy to meet with you and discuss your particular circumstances. Our faculty and staff members are also required to be vaccinated before the fall semester begins, and we look forward to providing a safe and healthy environment for all.

Sincerely,

Kelly K. Brown, Ph.D. | Director
Counseling, Health, and Wellness Services
