Immunization Requirements
New York State requires students taking six or more credits who were born on or after January 1, 1957, to show proof of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Students can't register for classes until their proof of immunization has been submitted and approved, so it's best to take care of this early. A meningitis acknowledgment form is also required.
