NYS Public Health Law 2165 requires that all students born on or after Jan. 1, 1957, registered for 6 or more credits of coursework such as independent study, study group or residency, provide the college with proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella, or obtain an exemption for religious or medical reasons.
NYS Public Health Law 2167 requires colleges and universities to distribute information about meningococcal disease and vaccination to all students, regardless of age, and maintain a meningitis vaccination record and/or response for each student.
Empire State College student enrollment records are subject to audit each term for immunization non-compliance. All students who meet this requirement in any given term will be notified by email and will not be able to register for future courses without proof of immunization.
