Immunizations (ALL students)

All students are required to fill out the Health and Counseling Services Immunization Form including the TB screening questionnaire on page 2 and have documentation/verification of the following vaccinations (listed on page 2) before being allowed to register for classes.

· Two MMR vaccinations (Measles, Mumps, & Rubella) or blood titers showing immunity

You may use the immunization form (pdf - 461.76 KB) which was mailed to you in your acceptance folder or you can obtain one online.
