Immunization Requirements
All new freshmen and new transfer students who will be taking classes at Ramapo College of New Jersey are required to complete and return the Immunization Form.
All new students born on or after January 1, 1957 must submit proof of two immunizations for Measles (Rubeola), one for German Measles (Rubella) and one for Mumps (Parotitis). You will be allowed to register for one semester as per New Jersey Higher Education Immunization requirements but will not be permitted to register for any additional semesters until you have successfully met all of the above immunization requirements.
These immunizations (Measles, German Measles and Mumps) must have been given on or after the first birthday. The two Measles vaccinations must be given at least 28 days apart. If you can not locate proof of these immunizations, you can have blood work done by your primary medical provider to prove immunity to Measles, German Measles and Mumps. You must submit a copy of the laboratory data to Student Health Services in accordance to New Jersey state law (N.J.A.C. 8:57:6.1-6.13)
In addition, if you are planning to reside in college owned housing, you must also submit proof than you have received the meningitis vaccine. Failure to submit this documentation will prohibit you from residing in the college owned housing after your initial semester.
All new students are also required to have a TB (tuberculosis) test no more than 6 months prior to your admission to Ramapo College of New Jersey. You must return to your medical provider within 48 – 72 hours for the reading of this test.
An immunization Form is included in your acceptance packet from the Admissions Office. If you have not received this form, please call Student Health Services and we will mail or fax a form to your attention or you can download it below:
