Immunization Requirements
New students must provide evidence of immunity against Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR), Chicken pox (Varicella) and Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (Tdap). Students born prior to 1957 are assumed to have acquired natural immunity to measles and will be exempt from providing such evidence. Varicella is waived if born in US before 1980.
Evidence is documented records of two MMR immunizations, two Varicella immunizations, and one Tdap.
Health and Accident Insurance Requirement, Non-Residents
