Here are the Steps to Follow

EWU uses a third-party vendor, Med+Proctor, to collect and store vaccination records. You need to upload your vaccine records and/or waiver request to Med+Proctor.

Ready to upload? Visit Med+Proctor to get started or visit support.medproctor.com for any questions associated with submitting required immunization documentation.

The old account login page is available at https://secure.medproctor.com/Account/SignIn

For students and employees, immunization records can only be accepted through Med+Proctor. Students should also continue to submit waiver forms through Med+Proctor. For employees, including student employees, if you are submitting a medical waiver you must contact Human Resources and if you are submitting a religious waiver you must go through Equal Opportunity.

Counseling & Wellness Services will not accept any documents, certificates or emails at this time.

If you are getting a two dose vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna) we encourage you to wait until you've gotten both doses before submitting your final record.

We accept any of the following documents as proof of your COVID-19 vaccine:

• COVID-19 Vaccination Card
• Copy of State Immunization Registry Record

Vaccine records are stored in Med+Proctor. Med+Proctor provides EWU with a list of people who have submitted proof of full vaccination and/or a waiver. EWU will then store this information within a confidential field in our secure student information system.

For employees, your vaccination status will be shared with your supervisor, Human Resources, Institutional Research, and the COVID-19 Response Team (Health & Wellness, Risk Management). For students, your vaccination status will be shared with the COVID-19 Response Team (Health & Wellness, Risk Management), Human Resources, Student Rights & Responsibilities, Records & Registration, Institutional Research, Housing & Residential Life (if living on campus), and Athletics (student athletes only).

If you have a medical or religious reason to be exempt from this requirement, complete the Request for Waiver form found in the Med+Proctor system. Once waiver is completed, upload document to the Med+Proctor site.

If you are a student in a 100% online program and do not ever come to campus, you do not need to do anything. Accommodation are also available for pregnant individuals.

According to the current guidelines from the CDC and requirements from the Department of Health, people who are not fully vaccinated must continue to wear masks in indoor settings and maintain 6’ of distance from others. In certain settings, such as campus housing and athletics, you may also be required to participate in regular COVID testing.

If you have a medical reason to not get vaccinated, please submit a medical waiver request. A medical waiver must be signed by a medical provider who attests that the person has a medical reason for not being vaccinated.

For employees, including student employees, if you are seeking a medical waiver you must go through Human Resources.

You will need to take two separate actions. First, you will need to submit a medical waiver in Med+Proctor to comply with EWU’s immunization requirements. Second, you will need to seek a reasonable accommodation and the accommodation must be approved before you will be able to be present on campus and not wear a mask. Students seeking a disability accommodation must contact Disability Support Services. Employees seeking a disability accommodation must contact Human Resources.

If you have a religious reason for not receiving a COVID vaccine, please submit a religious waiver request.

For employees, including student employees, you must submit the religious waiver request through Equal Opportunity.

Yes. Per Governor guidelines, all students, whether vaccinated or not are required to wear masks in indoor settings and outdoor settings where there are more than 500 people. People who are not fully vaccinated should also maintain 6’ of distance from others. In certain settings, such as campus housing and athletics, you may also be required to participate in regular COVID testing.

EWU is following the CDC and Department of Health's directions. The CDC and Department of Health are only allowing people who are fully vaccinated to remove their masks. This has not been extended to people who have previously had COVID-19 due to uncertainty about how long and to what extent such antibodies may provide protection to a future infection. There is more information on the CDC's website at: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/faq.html

EWU’s immunization requirements apply to students who attend classes on a EWU campus, including Running Start students. The requirements do not apply to students who are taking classes from a high school as part of the College in the High School program.

Yes.

If a student is solely taking online courses and is not present on EWU’s campus, the student is not required to comply with the immunization requirements. Employees who exclusively work remotely (not on a EWU campus or in a EWU building) are also excluded from the requirement.

Some programs, such as Sorority & Fraternity Life, Intramural Sports, and EPIC Adventures require that vaccination records or approved waiver be submitted for eligibility to participate. You must also wear a mask at all times when indoors.

Students who do not upload their vaccination records or seek a medical or religious waiver will be fined up to $250 per term. Employees may be subject to corrective action or discipline for failure to follow a EWU policy.

No.

Yes. EWU will be offering this option to its students. More information will be provided to students and parents later this summer.

The COVID-19 vaccine is currently available to people 12 years and older for no cost, regardless of insurance.
