Immunization & Physical Exam Requirements

New York State Public Health Law requires students who are on campus for six credits or more, to meet the requirements below:

  • MMR Vaccines: All students born on or after January 1, 1957 must document immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. 
  • Meningitis Vaccine: All students must also document that they either have received the meningococcal (meningitis) vaccine or have declined to receive it. A Public Health Law effective August 15, 2003 makes it mandatory for ALL college students taking six or more credits on campus to receive information about Meningitis Disease and Vaccine. A Meningitis information sheet can be accessed here.
  • Tb Mantoux Vaccine: ONLY required for International Students and Students enrolled in the Physical Therapy Assistant (PTA) Program. 
  • Physical Exam (within the past year): ONLY required for Athletes and students enrolled in the Pre-Employment Police Academy, PTA Program.

PROOF OF IMMUNIZATIONS-- All students in ALL programs must submit this immunization form before the first day on campus: IMMUNIZATION FORM 

Students must submit the required health information prior to the first day on campus. A hold will be placed on your student account until these requirements are met.
