Vaccine Exemptions for Student Housing

According to K.S.A. 76-761a, all students wanting to live in student housing at any Kansas college or university are required to receive a meningitis vaccination, but the statute states that each institution's vaccine policies "shall include appropriate waiver procedures for those who refuse to take the vaccine." Check with your college or university to learn what their waiver procedures are. Some colleges may require you to use an exemption form they provide, or, if needed, write your exemption request using one of these two exemption form examples as a guide: Medical Exemption; Religious Exemption (Too much information about your religious beliefs can give them reasons to deny your request. There’s no need to explain your religious beliefs in detail. Keep it simple).
