Acceptable proof of immunization must include one or more of the following:

The MMR vaccine provides protection against measles, mumps, and rubella. MMR vaccine is recommended for both measles vaccine doses to provide increased protection against all three vaccine-preventable diseases. The date of the MMR immunization must be after 1972.

You will have to submit documentation of proper immunization prior to being permitted to register for classes.

Even if you have had rubella, the only acceptable proof of immunization would be proof of vaccination, or a blood titer that shows you are immune. Contact your physician to arrange for a blood test. If this blood test does not show immunity, you will have to be vaccinated.

If a licensed physician or health practitioner certifies in writing that one or more of the required immunization may be detrimental to your health, this requirement may be waived until it no longer poses a health problem. The statement must specify which immunization will be detrimental, and the length of time it will be detrimental.

A religious exemption may be claimed by submitting the Religious Exemption form and a written and notarized statement by the student or parent/guardian if the student is less than 18 years of age. This statement must describe the beliefs in sufficient detail to permit the institution to determine that (1) the beliefs are religious in nature (not philosophical or political) and (2) the beliefs are genuinely and sincerely held. Baruch College requires supporting documents from the organization you belong to. The religious exemption form is available here and at the Medical Records Office.

In the event of an outbreak of measles, mumps or rubella in the College, the Commissioner of Health may order that students without documentation of immunity be excluded from attendance until the required documentation of immunity is submitted.

If the student is already aware that he/she does not have documentation, you may submit a Department of Health Immunization card or obtain new immunization shots or titers.

We encourage you to submit these required documents at the same time, if possible.
