Online school. Has it come into it's own?

the bureaucracy can be a little behind the technology  

I noticed a local community college had an online course in "math for healthcare"  
it covered stuff like calculating IV concentrations and flow
and medication dose per body weight and so on

I called them up, told them I wasn't a student at the college but would love to take course  
they said no problem, we just need tuition and proof of vaccinations

I replied "uh what ? its an online class -- I'll never step into a classroom -- I'll never even come into contact with another student"

they said "oh yeah, that makes sense .. hold on"

couple of minutes later,  "sorry, we need proof of vaccinations to  enroll you"  

"oh well, never mind ... thanks anyway"

I've been vaccinated, but didn't have nay paperwork on hand to prove it and wasn't about to schedule a doctor's appointment just to get a record of it

It could have been state law. Texas used to require the meningitis vaccination for everyone under 26. Fortunately for me, I was over 26 and could request a waiver. For University of Florida, I requested a distance learner waiver. There's also the option of requesting a conscious objection waiver, which is basically a religious exemption.
