Student Right to Know: Vaccination Policies

New Jersey State Law (N.J.A.C. 9:2-14; Title 18A;61D-1 and D-9) requires that New Jersey colleges and universities maintain records of students’ immunization against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and hepatitis B. All new, full- and part-time students are required to complete and return to the Office of Student Records the Medical Questionnaire that is found in the student’s acceptance packet. Full-time students (enrolled in 12 or more credits) must submit proof of a second MMR booster vaccination. Students born before 1957 are exempt from this regulation, and under certain circumstances, students may be exempt because of medical or religious reasons; however, they must provide documentation in order to substantiate such exemptions. The College does not provide immunizations.
