Prior to admission or employment, the College may require students and employees to be immunized from certain communicable diseases, including but not limited to measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, varicella, and meningitis. Students and employees are excused from providing proof of one or more of the required vaccinations if the student or employee has one of the following:
- physician's written statement of immunity due to having had the infection;
- a statement of contraindication to a vaccine (accompanied by a physician's statement);
- a lab titer documenting immunity; or
- a statement of religious exemption
Religious and medical exemption letters will be accepted in lieu of immunization information. Medical exemption letters must be accompanied by a physician’s statement.
The immunizations listed here are not meant to supersede more restrictive requirements for employment or participation in a specific college program or class, such as childcare, classes that lead to a medical degree or certificate, or clinical programs. (Policy 3.4.5/2.1.10)
