Vaccination Statement
In addition to the guidelines above, all those who will be present on campus for any reason are required to have received the following Vaccinations:
- COVID-19
Information about how to submit proof of vaccinations and the process to request an exemption will be provided to admitted students from their respective programs. In situations where a student has an exemption, the unvaccinated status may cause significant barriers during the clinical aspect of training, barriers that are outside of RMU’s control. Many hospitals and other healthcare institutions have notified RMU programs that they will only take students who can provide proof of vaccinations. If a student is not vaccinated, arranging all required clinical placements may be extremely challenging or impossible, and this could result in delayed completion of required training, delay of graduation, or the inability to graduate. Students declining vaccination cannot be guaranteed clinical placements or patient experiences, and RMU is not required to find clinical sites that do not require vaccinations. Any additional tuition, fees, and living expenses incurred because of this situation will be the responsibility of the student without University assistance.
