Vaccine Requirements

Required Vaccinations: All Students

Minnesota law* requires all students born after December 31, 1956, enrolled in a Minnesota college or university to be vaccinated against the following:

  • Diphtheria/Tetanus—Td (dose within the past 10 years)
  • Measles—rubeola, red measles (2 doses after age 12 months)
  • Mumps—(2 doses after age 12 months)
  • Rubella—German measles (2 doses after age 12 months)

*If you graduated from a Minnesota high school after 1996 or attended a Minnesota post-secondary school, you are exempt from the above requirements.

How to Complete Your Vaccination Requirement:

To avoid or remove registration holds, complete the online Student Immunization Form by the sixth week of the semester:

Please note that this is a one-time submission that all new students are asked to complete. If this is not your first semester at the University, you have likely already met this requirement and you do not need to complete it again.

If you are exempt, complete the printable Student Immunization Form by the sixth week of the semester.

If you are exempt and receive a registration hold, complete the online Immunization Form above. Call 612-625-8400, option 7 for help.
