Immunization Clearance

The University requires all students born after December 31, 1956, who take more than one University class, to provide documentation of two immunizations for measles, mumps, and rubella; and a tetanus-diphtheria immunization within the last ten years. Currently, the tetanus-diphtheria immunization is being waived due to a shortage of the vaccine. This documentation must be entered on a Student Immunization Record and must include the month and year each immunization was given. Forms are available at UMR Student Services. Students who graduated from a Minnesota high school in 1997 or later will be exempt from this policy.

Check with your medical or high school immunization records. All students are legally required to provide information on immunizations or exemptions; students who fail to provide the required information will have a hold placed on their records and will not be allowed to enroll for classes. (The law does allow for an exception based on age, or documented medical or conscientious exemptions.) If you need any of the required immunizations, call your family doctor for an appointment.
