Step 4:  Provide your immunization records

Under Colorado law and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regulations, graduate students born since January 1, 1957, and attending one or more classes on a campus, are required to be immunized against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) and to document the dates of two MMR vaccinations prior to the start of classes, but no later than:

  • September 15 (for students beginning in the Fall)
  • January 31 (for students beginning in the Spring)
  • June 15 (for students beginning in the Summer)

If you do not submit documentation of your vaccinations by these deadlines, you will be charged a $25 late fee.  You will also be blocked from registration for future terms until your documentation has been received.

Contact the office that keeps records of your childhood immunizations (physician, public health department, Veterans Affairs, etc.) and ask them to complete the Certificate of Immunization for College Students Form.
