HR Policies and Procedures
Employees are responsible for reviewing and complying with the following policies:
COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Information
The university has a COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster Requirement.
-
If you are vaccinated, upload your card by following the instructions here. You do not need to wait until both shots are done but can upload even if you have only received one shot so far. Employees must upload proof of vaccination and proof of the booster in order to be compliant with the university's COVID protocols unless one of the exemptions above have been approved. This may mean uploading two different cards if the proof of the booster is not on the same card as the initial dose(s).
-
If you need to know the schedule for our vaccine clinics you can look that up here.
-
If you want to apply for an accommodation (disability or religious/ethical) from the Equity Office, that information is found here. You can also call or email the Office of Equity for more information about accommodations at 216.368-3066; equity@case.edu. The religious exemption is not limited to official religions or religious practices but will be considered for those with sincerely held ethical or moral beliefs.
