Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit documentation prior to New Coug Orientation or the beginning of their first semester.  

Graduate students are encouraged to submit documentation prior to arriving on campus. 

You will need to complete the measles immunization form and upload it, along with copies of your records, to your Patient Portal. 

Proof of measles immunity means documentation that you have had one of the following: 

• Two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine received after one year of age and at least one month apart, or 
• A blood test showing measles immunity, or 
• Diagnosed measles disease (health care provider’s signature required) 
• We accept any of the following documents as proof of measles immunity: 
• School Certificate of Immunization, or 
• Immunization records from your healthcare provider or public health department, or 
• Copy of your immunization card, or 
• Copy of your military immunization record.

If you received measles immunizations in the past but don’t have documentation, try contacting these sources to get a copy of your health record: 

• Your family doctor 
• Your high school 
• The public health department responsible for the area where you received the vaccine 

If you aren’t able to find documentation of the vaccinations you received from any of these sources, you can get a blood test called a Rubeola titer to prove you are immune. You can get a Rubeola titer from your health care provider, the public health department, or our medical clinic. 

You can schedule an appointment in our clinic online using the Patient Portal or by phone at 509-335-3575. 

You will not be able to register for classes, and a hold will be placed on your student account. If you do not complete these steps, it may impact your ability to participate in campus events. The university may impose further restrictions in the interest of maintaining public health until you have complied with the vaccine requirement.
