The City University of New York policy, in accordance with
the mandate PHL 2165, requires that all students who register
for six or more billable credits, and who were born after
December 31, 1956, submit proof of two measles vaccines and one
mumps and rubella vaccination in order to be in attendance at
the University. To ensure full compliance, colleges must
adequately notify students of these requirements upon entering
the University.
The following is the minimal requirement for students to
complete the registration process and continue in attendance:
Partial Compliance: One proof of measles, mumps, and
rubella vaccinations and a doctor's appointment for the second
measles vaccination. The second proof of measles vaccination
must be submitted by the 30th or 45th day of the semester.
Students in partial compliance will be alerted by the
Admissions and
Registrar's offices that their attendance, academic record,
and financial aid eligibility can be affected. There is also the
possibility of incurring a tuition
liability for the semester prior to the first day of class. A
second letter is mailed to students in partial compliance after
the second day of class but before the 15th day of class,
informing them that they will be excluded from class beginning
on the 31st or 46th day of the semester and that free, on-campus
immunization is available. A student may present such proof
until the end of the semester.
Students who do not comply with the minimal requirements must
be excluded from class and will not be allowed to return until
they are in full compliance. An administrative withdrawal grade
("WA") will be placed on the student's academic record in lieu
of a regular grade.
Three (3) steps are needed to reverse the "WA" grade before
the end of the semester, thereby allowing the student to return
to class and receive a letter grade from the instructor:
-
Satisfy the
Admissions and Recruitment Office with proper proof of
immunization before the end of the semester (last day of
classes);
-
Obtain
approval from the instructor to return to class;
-
Submit
reversal form to Registrar's Office before the end of the
semester.
It is essential that all steps be completed to reverse "WA"
grades. However, the "WA" grade is not reversible beyond the
semester in question. Even if students satisfy the immunization
requirement during the following semester, "WA" grades will
remain on their transcripts as permanent grades.
