HEALTH FORMS

Official enrollment and clearance to register requires that a complete Health Assessment Form which contains New York State mandated immunization requirements be submitted to the Health Services Office. In addition, documentation of health insurance is required.

Students in all schools returning from a leave of absence of one semester or longer are required to update their Health Assessment Form.

1. School of Arts and Sciences
   Undergraduate students must submit a complete Health Assessment Form at the time of admission
   
   
2. School of Nursing
   All students in the traditional undergraduate school must submit a complete Health Assessment Form at the time of their enrollment and a supplemental form annually.
