Documentation of Immunity
Prior to enrolling in classes, new students must provide documentation of immunity against measles, mumps and rubella. In compliance with NDUS Policy 506.1, immunity may be proven by:

Newly admitted students ages 21 and younger must provide documentation of immunity against meningococcal. Records must indicate that the immunization was received after turning 16 years of age.
Exemptions apply to students enrolled in only online courses or if the applicant falls into any of the following categories:
- Immunization is contraindicated by a medical condition.
- A student has had one immunization and agrees to have a second one no less than one month later.
- A student’s beliefs preclude participation in an immunization program.
