Requirements

Who Is Affected? What Immunizations Are Needed?

ALL students meeting the following criteria:
  • Born on or after January 1, 1957

  • Enrolled Half-time or more,
    with Half-time defined as:
  • Undergraduate: 6 quarter hours
  • Graduate: 4 quarter hours
  • Professional: 6 semester hours

 ALL students meeting the criteria must provide proof of immunization for the following:
  • Tetanus/Diphtheria - Within the
    past ten years*
  • Measles (Rubeola) - 2 Doses
  • Mumps
  • Rubella (German Measles)
*International students are required
  by law to have three inoculations.

Are There Alternatives to Vaccination?
If you were vaccinated but are unable to provide immunization records, or if you were exposed to one or more of the above diseases and believe that you now have immunity, a positive titer result for Measles, Mumps and/or Rubella is acceptable as proof of immunization.

  • A titer test is a blood test that can determine whether you have enough antibodies in your system to be considered “sufficiently immune” to a disease.

A copy of the lab report must be submitted to prove immunity.  If lab report results are equivocal or negative, you are not immune.  You should visit your physician to receive additional vaccination(s) to become sufficiently immune.  The additional vaccination and lab results must be submitted to complete the immunization requirements.
