Immunization Records and Release of Health Information

Immunization Requirements

These requirements include documented proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella, varicella (chicken pox), tetanus, and hepatitis B, prior to registration at any college or university within the University System. No temporary clearances are given to allow registration without meeting these requirements. For more information on Immunization requirements, please see Immunizations.
