Website to view student’s COVID-19 Vaccine Policy compliance

A message from UH Information Technology Services to UH instructional faculty dated Aug. 27:

A  website for instructional faculty that provides information on whether students in their in-person classes are cleared to be on campus is now available. Class rosters will show a green check on the “in Compliance with UH COVID Policy” section that means the student has been vaccinated OR submitted a current negative COVID-19 test result.

Please be aware that there may be a delay from when a student uploads their information to the LumiSight UH app and when it appears on the website. In those cases, faculty may ask to see the student’s “you may report to campus” status on their LumiSight UH app. In instances when a student does not have a smartphone, you can ask them to show you their vaccination card or their negative COVID-19 test. Faculty are not requir ed to monitor the status of the students. 

The website and status verification process was established to ensure faculty feel safe in their classrooms. Procedures at the campus level are in place to monitor the vaccination and testing status of students.

Please remember that COVID-19-related records, including “cleared to attend” status information, are sensitive and protected and must NOT be copied, shared or otherwise disclosed. 

For a summary of what faculty can and cannot ask regarding students’ COVID-19 vaccination and testing information, visit datagov.intranet.hawaii.edu/ferpa/.

The website can be accessed at www.star.hawaii.edu/instructorsupport. Please email starhelp@hawaii.edu or call (808) 956-4036 if you have questions about the website.

The hope is that the app will give faculty peace of mind as we navigate the fall semester. Thank you for your dedication and hard work during these difficult times.
