All students attending the university are required to have the following 2(two) immunizations: Measles/mumps/ rubella (MMR) 2 doses and Meningococcal Quadrivalent Polysaccharide (Bacterial Meningitis), or sign a waiver for an exemption from immunization. Exemptions may be allowed for medical and religious reasons only. Tdap, Polio, Varicella (Chickenpox), Meningitis B, Hepatitis A & B, Influenza and HPV are highly recommended immunizations. These immunization requirements are consistent with state and national (Centers for Disease Control) recommendations. The University will support, educate, and encourage compliance with these recommendations.

 Requirements for student immunizations will be included in all recruiting documents and events, and during orientation. Students who fail to demonstrate appropriate proof of immunizations of immunity; or fail to obtain immunizations; or otherwise get an approved waiver for exemption will be subject to exclusion from campus during an outbreak and have a registration hold placed. Compliance will be monitored through Med+Proctor and the Student Medical staff, who will notify the Registrar periodically of student compliance.
