What should I do if the only time I could schedule a vaccine is during a class?

Posted on March 8, 2021Updated: March 8, 2021

SMU encourages you to schedule a time to get your vaccine as soon as you are eligible and can find one. You should notify your professor ahead of time and work with them to make up any lost work during your absence.

Once you’ve taken the vaccine, please remember to update your status and report it through the reporting tool.
