Immunization (Vaccine) Information for Entering and Transfer Students
- For students entering in the summer 2018 semester, your immunization form is due by April 15, 2018. For students entering in the fall 2018 semester, your immunization form is due by August 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.
