Choose one of the following:

_____ I request exemp�on from required immuniza�on(s) for the following medical reasons:

_____ I request exemp�on from immuniza�on(s) on the basis of the following sincere and genuine religious beliefs:

I understand that in the event of an epidemic, I may be required to receive the immuniza�on or leave Berea College un�l all disease risk is eradicated. I also understand that par�cipa�on in interna�onal College sponsored study/travel opportuni�es may be denied for non-immunized students entering the College claiming exemp�on from required medical immuniza�ons or refusing recommended immuniza�on for travel.

Students par�cipa�ng in interna�onal study/travel opportuni�es are required to receive from Student Health Services or a recognized travel authority such as the Center for Disease Control or similar body all immuniza�onsrecommended for travel to a par�cular region. Excep�on to this policy will be made only for a student who has an approved immuniza�on waiver on file with the College from the �me of ini�al enrollment. However, such waiver may affect ability to par�cipate in certain interna�onal travel opportuni�es. The College retains the right to deny approval for travel for which academic credit and/or funding is being provided by the College should it be felt that the health of the non-immunized student or other community members might be jeopardized.

All traveling students reques�ng exemp�on from such travel recommenda�ons must receive counseling from Student Health Services concerning the risks they are assuming, must sign a special waiver form before every interna�onal trip, and must receive approval from Student Health Services.

Students under 18 years of age must also have the signature of a parent or legal guardian and a witness not related to the signer or applicant.
