Immunization Requirements for College Students

Required Immunization Information

All students who will be registered for any course that could be taken in person*, participate in on-campus activities, or live at The Suites at Laker Landing, are required to comply with the College’s Immunization Policy and New York State Public Health Law (PHL) Section 2165 and 2167.

Proof of immunity must be provided in order to register for classes at Finger Lakes Community College. College policy and New York State PHL will not permit continued attendance by individuals failing to present the required immunization proof by the 30th day of the semester, unless the student presents: (i) a certificate from a licensed physician or nurse practitioner certifying that such immunization may be detrimental to the student’s health or is otherwise medically contraindicated (in which case the requirements may be waived until such immunization is determined no longer to be detrimental to the student’s health or otherwise medically contraindicated); (ii) proof of honorable discharge from the armed services within ten (10) years from the date of application to FLCC (which shall qualify the student to attend the College pending the actual receipt of immunization records from the armed forces); or (iii) a written and signed statement from the student, or parent or guardian, if applicable, that the student holds genuine and sincere religious beliefs that prohibit immunization of the student.

New York State PHL Section 2165 requires students born on or after January 1, 1957, attending college within New York State to show proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella. Persons born before January 1, 1957, are exempt.
