RE:                 Vaccination Requirement Request Approval

The University of Alaska System policy states that vaccination requirements may only be made by exception and may only be approved by the President at the request of the Chancellor.

I have requested a vaccination requirement for the following:

STUDENT GROUPS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO EXTERNAL VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURPOSES OF COMPLETING THEIR COURSE/INTERNSHIP

Based on my request and President Pitney’s approval, I am herewith authorizing a vaccination requirement (with medical and non-medical-religious exemptions) for that purpose.
