From the WSU website:
Vaccine requirements for students
WSU system-wide will require proof of the COVID‑19 vaccination for the 2021–2022 academic year for all students engaging in activities at a WSU campus or location.
Exemptions will be allowed for medical, religious, or personal reasons. Information about how to submit proof of vaccination and the process to request an exemption will be provided in the coming months.

That is incorrect. Under last week's changes at WSU, exemptions are still permitted. Here's the change that has been misreported (and misunderstood) from WSU:
After any of the three currently approved vaccines receive full FDA approval, personal/philosophical exemptions will no longer be accepted.
Students will have forty‑five (45) days following the approval date to provide proof of vaccination (or initiation of vaccination) or file a medical or religious exemption. Upon FDA approval, the updated process for filing a new medical or religious exemption will be provided.

The change is that personal exemptions will no longer be allowed once full FDA approval is granted. That has not happened so again, OSU and WSU have the same rules, at least for now.
