Penalties for non-compliance

Make sure to submit the Admission Health Record and proof of immunizations by the applicable deadline above. This allows Health Service staff time to process your Admission Health Record and immunization documents and notify you of any deficiencies. Furthermore, it provides you with the time to rectify any deficiencies prior to arriving on campus.

Students who fail to submit their Admission Health Record and record of immunizations, or fail to rectify ALL immunization deficiencies by 20 days after the start of classes will be barred from future class registration (including adding or changing classes) until compliant and will be assessed a non-refundable $100 late fee. PENALTIES ARE NOT ASSESSED PRIOR TO THE START OF CLASSES.
