Medical Immunization Requirements

Illinois state law mandates that all students entering a postsecondary institution who are born on or after January 1, 1957, must present documented proof of immunity against measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria as a prerequisite to registration. The Medical Immunization Form, required for student completion, is mailed with the student’s acceptance letter.

Those students who are not properly immunized and have not submitted a written statement of medical or religious exemption must be immunized within the first term of enrollment. Failure to provide the required proof of immunity will prevent the student from enrolling in a subsequent term.

Students registering only for online courses. off-campus courses or for no more than five credit hours are temporarily exempt from the immunization requirements.
