The Office of Health Services is responsible for the immunization records of all students born after January 1, 1957.

* Thursday, September 26th, 2013 is the deadline to submit proof of MMR vaccinations. Failure to comply will result in an Administrative Withdrawal grade from all classes.

These students are required to provide proof of:

• MEASLES (Rubeola) - Two doses of Live Measles Virus Vaccine at least 28 days apart: on or after 1st birthday and dated 1968 or later
• MUMPS - One dose of Live Mumps Virus Vaccine: on or after 1st birthday and dated 1969 or later

            Dose #1 must be given at age 12 months or later
            Dose #2 must be given after 15 months of age - OR at least 28 days after first vaccine - OR
  Date healthcare provider diagnosed measles and/or mumps disease. Disease of rubella is NOT acceptable proof of immunity. There must be proof of vaccine or titers

Proof of these vaccines should be provided in one of the following ways:

1. Have your health care provider fill out and stamp our Immunization Form (PDF),
2. Provide a stamped copy of your health care provider's immunization form,
3. Provide a copy of your lifetime immunization card (childhood immunization card), or
4. Provide an official stamped copy of immunization records from a former high school, college or university.

Additionally, all students must indicate that they have been notified of the Mennigicocal Meningitis Public Health Law 2167 and have appropriate response on record with the college. This response is recorded in Part 2 of the Immunization Form (PDF below) submitted prior to the first semester. The Menningicocal Meningitis vaccine is not mandatory, we only require proof that you have been notified and given information about the vaccine. Failure to submit this form will delay your registration.

Any foreign vaccine-related immunization records must be translated into English prior to submission to the Office of Health Services. Failure to do so may delay your registration.

Students must submit immunization information at least three to four weeks prior to their registration appointment. Failure to do so may result in registration restrictions. We make every effort to process the forms as quickly as possible and cannot guarantee your registration if records are not submitted in a timely fashion. We encourage you to contact the office 72 hours after having faxed your records to assure our receipt of them.

Forms can be submitted by mail, fax, or in person.  Please include your name on each page of the documents submitted.  Forms and photo IDs that are not legible cannot be processed, and this will delay your registration.  We strongly advise against sending forms via email as email is not a secure form of communication and these forms contain personal information.
