Online Student Immunization Requirements

Online students do not need to submit immunization records to register for courses. However, online students seeking a waiver for on-campus or hybrid courses must comply with University immunization policies to receive approval.

To register for on-campus or hybrid courses, you must submit an immunization form from your physician, or an exemption, along with a tuberculosis questionnaire. Processes and additional information are outlined below.
