Every new student must provide proof of vaccination to the Admissions Office prior to registering for classes. This evidence may include a signed and itemized receipt for immunization from a physician/pharmacy/health care facility, the student’s most recent shot records, or a copy of the student’s shot records. No new student will be permitted to attend class without the required vaccination documentation. Students may wish to contact their general practitioner as many insurance companies cover this vaccination.
