Immunization (Vaccine) Information for Entering and Transfer Students
- For students entering in the spring 2019 semester, the due date to submit your immunization requirements is December 1, 2018.
All students must submit a completed immunization form to the Health and Wellness Department. Students should make sure they have received the required vaccines; it takes only one missing or expired dose to cause delays during check-in. Please note that you cannot attend Berklee College of Music until the immunization requirements are met.
