Immunizations

Any student entering Presentation College for the first time after July 1, 2008, shall, within 45 days after the start of classes, present to the Student Affairs Office certification from a licensed physician that the student has received or is in the process of receiving the required two doses of immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). Students may contact the Admissions Office at 605-229-8492 for information regarding alternatives to this requirement.

Students should make sure the remainder of their immunization record is current. Students may be required to get immunizations for certain diseases if they cannot produce their immunization records. Some majors will require proof of immunization before acceptance into the major. Because many students are placed in clinical settings, it is the students' responsibility to ensure their immunization and health records are up to date. More information may be obtained from the academic division or the Student Affairs Office.

A student who fails to provide satisfactory documentation of his or her immune status will not be permitted to register or attend classes. The Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management may grant an extension of the deadline for the amount of time determined necessary. In no case will the extension be longer than one semester.
