Colorado law (see Colorado Revised Statutes 25-4-901 to 909) and Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment regulations require that all college and university students physically present on campus and enrolled for one or more classes submit proof of immunization, as described below:

• All new incoming students who were born on or after January 1, 1957, must have had two measles, two mumps, and two rubella vaccines, the first administered no earlier than 4 days before the first birthday, and the second at least 28 calendar days after the 1st dose.
• Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is not required for students born before January 1, 1957
• In lieu of immunization, written evidence of laboratory tests showing immunity to measles, mumps, rubella is acceptable.
• Students must submit the completed Certificate of Immunization form (see below) to the Health & Counseling Center. You may have one academic term grace period to comply with this requirement. If you do not submit proof of immunization within one academic term, you will not be allowed to register for your second term and/ or you will have an immunization hold placed on your student account.
• In the event of an outbreak, those students for whom a medical, religious, or personal exemption has been submitted will be withdrawn from classes until the outbreak is contained and will not be entitled to a refund of tuition for any missed time.
  
• If you carry the Student Health Insurance and the Health and Counseling Fee, all immunizations are covered at 100% through the Health and Counseling Center. Click here to see if your insurance covers immunizations.

Other Immunizations

Although the following immunizations are not required for university students by DU or the State of Colorado, they are highly recommended: meningitis vaccine for freshmen living in residence halls or others who may want to receive it; hepatitis B vaccine for all students. You may also want to check on the status of your tetanus and polio vaccines and your immunity to chickenpox. All vaccines are available at the Health and Counseling Center if you are not immune. Influenza vaccine is also available prior to flu season.
