In accordance with New York State Public Health Law (PHL) Section 2165, students are required to submit proof of immunity to Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR). As permitted by PHL 2165, medical exemptions are accepted by ̨ÍåSwag.
If a student is seeking a medical exemption from the immunization requirement, proof must be submitted for approval from a licensed physician or nurse practitioner certifying that such immunization may be detrimental to the person’s health or is otherwise medically contraindicated.
̨ÍåSwag reserves the right to exclude students who submit a medical exemption for MMR vaccinations from living in on-campus housing. Exclusion also prohibits a student from visiting the residence halls on campus and living and/or visiting ̨ÍåSwag subleased properties including, but not limited to, Collegiate Village and Snyder Park.
Exclusion under this policy does not relieve the student from any financial obligation to ̨ÍåSwag.
