All on-campus students, faculty and staff must show proof of vaccination, or submit a completed exemption form, by December 15.

Vaccine Exemptions

The University understands not everyone will be in a position to receive an influenza vaccination. The state of Colorado allows certain exemptions for medical and nonmedical reasons, and ¿ì»îapp will honor such exemptions for the influenza vaccination. You must submit aÌýÌýif you wish to be exempt from this requirement.

#¿ì»îappYourPart

Please, #¿ì»îappYourPart and find a time soon to protect yourself and ourÌýcommunity against this illness. Influenza and COVID-19 can present similar symptoms and can occur simultaneously. The flu virus itself can pose serious health risks to members of our community in any flu season, but coupled with the risk of COVID-19, it is crucial that we doÌýwhat we can to mitigate the dangers of infection.
