Student Health Information and  Immunization Requirements

NEW STUDENTS

New York States requires university students taking six or more credits and born after 1957 to demonstrate immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella, and to receive information on (or the vaccine for) meningococcal meningitis. This requires receiving two doses of the MMR vaccine, or proof of immunity, and documentation on meningococcal vaccine. 

Required: All new students (including commuter students) must complete the following FOUR steps to be eligible to start classes (and for residential students to move onto campus)*:

*Note: once you complete all steps, please wait 7-10 business days for the new student dashboard to be manually updated by all departments.
