Residence Hall Students

The following immunizations are required prior to move-in day. Please refer to the Step-by-Step Instructions for Uploading Immunization Information into the portal in order to meet each requirement.


MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) – two doses given after your first birthday. These are both usually given by age five. This can also be met by proof of two measles immunizations, one mumps immunization and one rubella immunization.

or

Proof of immunity via blood titer tests (done at any time) for Measles, Mumps and Rubella.


Meningococcal Requirement- NYS requires all college students, regardless of age, to review information about meningitis and then make an informed decision- either show proof of:

  1. Meningitis ACWY vaccine within the last five (5) years (may appear on your records as Menactra, Menveo or MenQuadfi).

    or

  2. Meningitis B, two dose series at any time (may appear on your records as Bexsero or Trumenba). Please look carefully at your vaccination record. The most common reason students remain in "non-compliance" after submitting records is because their meningitis ACWY vaccine is over five years old or they only have had one meningitis B vaccine.

    or

  3. Complete a response form declining the Meningitis vaccination. Declining it ensures compliance with NYS Public Health Law and will help you meet the requirement quickly but doesn't stop you from getting it at a later date, if needed. There is no penalty for declining these immunizations. Students may receive the vaccine at any time in the future through their healthcare provider, the Monroe County Department of Health Immunization clinic or at a local pharmacy.

To decline the meningitis immunization, visit the MCC's Counseling, Disability & Health Services Portal:

  • Go to the Medical Clearances tab
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page
  • Click clearance exemptions and select Meningococcal ACWY or B
  • Complete the waiver and upload document into the portal

  • Dropping off records or completing the form in person in the Counseling/Disability Office in Building 3- Room 103 on the Brighton Campus.
  • Fax records to (585) 292-3856.
