Vaccinations & Exemption Process - Healthcare

Manhattan Area Technical College does not require vaccinations. Manhattan Tech partners with multiple health systems and healthcare providers to provide clinical and programmatic experiences for our students; many of our clinical partners require all students to have received varying types of vaccines before their on-site experiences and training may begin. As a result, unvaccinated students could be precluded from participating in these activities, potentially impacting their ability to complete all program requirements. 

Important Notice

Please be informed that certain vaccinations are mandated by the clinical agencies with which we collaborate. While you may submit a request for exemption, please note that approval is not guaranteed. The decision to grant an exemption is at the sole discretion of the respective clinical facilities.

Vaccination Exemption Processes

Students may seek a medical or religious exemption from an immunization requirement. Approval for an exemption is dependent on the clinical site. Below is the process for requesting an exemption:
