Student Requesting Reasonable Accommodations To The COVID-19 Vaccine Policy - Special Circumstances


FORM FOR STUDENTS REQUESTING REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS TO THE COVID-19 VACCINE POLICY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FOR STUDENTS (“STUDENT VACCINATION POLICY”)

Massachusetts Community College members, including students, faculty, and staff must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and submit verification of their fully vaccinated status to the College absent an approved reasonable accommodation consistent with the Student Vaccination Policy.

All requests for reasonable accommodation, including any requests to be exempt from vaccine requirements for medical or religious reasons, will be considered consistent with applicable laws and legal guidance and the Board of Higher Education Policy on Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity & Diversity for the Massachusetts Community Colleges. The College will engage in an interactive process to determine if you are eligible for a reasonable accommodation, and if so, whether the requested accommodation is reasonable and does not create an undue hardship for the College and/or does not pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others in the learning and working environment, as applicable.

If unable to submit verification of full vaccination status and seeking a reasonable accommodation to comply with the Student Vaccination Policy, you should complete and submit this form along with the requested documentation as soon as possible and without delay in order to allow adequate time for the individualized interactive process to occur.

The deadlines to submit a completed request are as follows:

  • Winter 2022: December 17, 2022
  • Spring 2023 (full semester): January 8, 2023
  • Spring 2023 (Flex Start): January 21, 2023
