Measles and Rubella Immunization Requirement By law (Public Act 89-90) all higher education institutions in Connecticut require all full-time enrolled students and part-time matriculated students born after 1956 to submit evidence of immunization against measles and rubella before permitting them to register for classes.

Note:  Connecticut High School Graduates after 1998 are exempt from this policy. Measles (Rubeola) - The required immunization consists of two doses of measles vaccine (administered at least one month apart).  The first dose must have been given after January 1, 1969 (and after the student's first birthday) and the second dose after January 1, 1980.

Rubella (German Measles)- The required immunization for rubella (German Measles) is one dose of rubella vaccine administered after the student's first birthday.

NOTE:  These health records must be submitted to the Continuing Education Office prior to registration for courses.

  • If inoculation is contrary to student's religious beliefs or practices, a letter of explanation must be submitted with verification from a clergy member.

Students claiming a religious or medical exemption may be excluded from college activities, including classes and exams if there is an outbreak of measles or rubella on campus.

Proof of High School Completion -  All students must submit a copy of their high school diploma, transcripts, or GED certificate, including date of graduation.
