Immunization Requirements
Fall 2010 and Spring 2011
To ensure the health and safety of our campus, immunization against communicable diseases is extremely important. Vaccination against Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) is required of all transfer students. In addition to the MMR, the following vaccinations are required of all first-time freshmen beginning with Fall 2009.
- Meningococcal Vaccine
- Polio series
- Tetanus-Diptheria-Pertussis (DTaP, Tdap, DT and Td)
- Hepatitis B series
Documentation of these immunizations must be submitted to the Office of Admissions prior to enrollment in the Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 semester, whichever is your initial entry semester.
