Health Requirements
Health History: SUNY Cortland requires that a completed health history be submitted on admission to the college. The purpose is to provide information and background upon which proper medical care can be based.
Physical Examination: All students are strongly encouraged to have a physical exam completed by their family clinician prior to arriving on campus. However, these pre-matriculation physical exams are REQUIRED only for inter-collegiate athletes and international students.
Immunization Requirements

- Measles- TWO doses of live measles vaccine given after 12 months of age, or physician documentation of measles disease or a blood test showing immunity.
- Mumps- one dose of live mumps vaccine given after 12 months of age, or physician documentation of mumps disease or a blood test showing immunity.
- Rubella- one dose of live rubella vaccine given after 12 month of age, or a blood test showing immunity.
- New York State Law requires that all students be given information about meningococcal disease and vaccination. Students must provide a signed statement declining the vaccination or a vaccination date.
Failure to provide the Student Health Service with immunization records may delay registration and result in administrative penalties.
