Required Immunizations for New Undergraduate Students

In the event that the student cannot obtain documentation of immunization, the student will either have to be re-immunized or have laboratory verification of immunity. If needed, immunizations can be done in Student Health Services for a reasonable fee. Labwork for titers can be drawn at student health services; this service can be put though the student's insurance.
