MEASLES IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT
Seattle University recognizes that measles is a very contagious disease that can pose significant health risks to members of our campus community. To help protect you and the entire SU community, all undergraduate students must prove that they are immune to measles.
All students taking undergraduate courses must provide evidence of immunity to measles (rubeola) - two vaccinations, both administered after the age of one and given at least 28 days apart OR a positive blood (titer) test.
Immunization submissions is completed on the Student Health Center's online Patient Medical Portal
