As communicated on Aug. 23, Saint Mary’s University is launching a health portal for all students, faculty, staff to file proof of vaccination or to file an exemption. (Required forms are available through the portal.) The health portal is now open.
This portal is FERPA and HIPAA compliant, confidential, and can be accessed using the same user name and password associated with other university systems. This is the same portal the College has used for other vaccinations and health records. College students who have previously filed this information do not need to complete it again. College students who have previously submitted proof of their vaccination, can go to “My Profile” and select “Immun. History” to verify their submissions are on file.
Once logged into the portal, individuals will have two options.
To submit proof of vaccination:
- Select “My Forms” and then click “COVID-19 Immunization History.”
- Select the type of vaccination and date(s) received.
- Upload an image of your vaccination card (i.e., a picture from your phone).
- Click “Submit.”
To file an exemption:
- Select “My Forms” and then click “COVID-19 Immunization History.”
- Access forms to obtain a medical or non-medical exemption.
- Upload completed forms (i.e., a picture from your phone).
- Medical exemptions will require a doctor’s statement.
- Non-medical exemptions will require a notarized signature.
- Click “Submit.”
All documentation related to this process will be managed through the health portal. Individuals are required to file proof of vaccination or a completed exemption by Oct. 8. Please be sure to complete the vaccination form as well as upload your vaccination card. Once submitted, you will not receive a confirmation email. Rather, you can go back into your portal later to check that the correct forms have been completed and uploaded.
Reference the COVID-19 website for additional information and resources, including:
- Information on obtaining the vaccine
- How to replace a lost vaccine card
- Information on exemptions
If you have difficulty accessing the portal or uploading a document, please contact the HelpDesk at helpdesk@smumn.edu. Other questions can be directed to covid@smumn.edu.
