Fall 2021 COVID-19 Vaccine Proof Guide
The SMCM Fall Re-opening page provides the most updated information on the operation of the College for the fall. The COVID-19 Vaccine policy requires students, faculty, and staff to submit proof of a COVID-19 Vaccine or submit a request for an exemption. Information and step-by-step directions to upload your vaccine proof are provided in our Vaccine Upload Guide. If you have any questions please contact the Wellness Center.
SMCM Daily Symptom Tracker
All SMCM community members will continue to receive daily email reminders to track their symptoms. Our symptom tracker is an important tool to assess our community health and intervene when a community member is sick or has been exposed to COVID-19. Please take a few minutes every day to assess your health and share any symptoms.
Please use this link to fill out the SMCM Daily Symptom Tracker if you don’t regularly receive the daily email reminders. This link may be used for guest and approved visitors to campus.

This form must be completed by an employee, supervisor, or anyone with knowledge of a member of our campus community who has received a positive test.
