How to submit proof of vaccination or apply for a medical or religious exemption

If you need assistance getting started on Medicat, How to Access MediCat Portal may provide you with the information you need. If you continue to have issues with Medicat, please email a copy of your COVID vaccine card or exemption form to healthservices@ric.edu.

Please Note: any individual that has completed at least one dose may not claim a religious exemption
Where to Send Documents
Proof of vaccination, medical or religious exemption applications must be emailed to healthservices@ric.edu. The Center for Health and Wellness will review the documentation and follow-up with HR.
Follow-up Notification to Employee
HR will notify the employee when the Center for Health and Wellness has completed the review process and HR will confirm the employee’s employment status.

Employee Health and Well-Being is a Priority
In difficult times like these, we are especially thankful to the staff who come to campus each day to ensure that the college’s critical operations are maintained. As the campus adjusts to a new environment where our students learn remote and faculty members teach remote, teleworking arrangements provide an opportunity for some staff to perform the essential functions of their job from an alternate work location.
If appropriate, you should discuss with your supervisor your eligibility to take advantage of a teleworking arrangement.
