All students are required to complete a WSU Student Immunization Record. Those students born on or before Dec. 31, 1956 are required to complete the form, but are not required to supply immunization dates.

All others (except those with a physician signed medical or notarized conscientious exemption) are required to have the immunization records with dates of administration.

If you have a registration hold placed due to immunization, you must contact H&WS to set up an appointment to receive the necessary vaccination(s).

After you have received the vaccination, inform the nurse or receptionist that you need a hold removed from your student account. Effective immediately, H&WS is able to remove the hold for you.
