Loyola University Chicago

Students will not be permitted to register for classes if their records are not up to date.

The State of Illinois requires that students provide the university with evidence of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and diphtheria. Students are asked to safeguard the health of the Loyola community by providing evidence of their immunization or by being immunized.

Most students are properly immunized and simply have forgotten to send in their records. Documentation of immunization can often be found at high schools, doctor's offices, previously attended universities, or a valid childhood immunization certificate kept by parents. All records must show the month, day and year of immunization as well as a health-care provider's signature. If records cannot be found, students can be re-immunized. The Wellness Center will provide immunizations for a nominal fee while supplies are available, or students can receive their immunizations from their doctors.   The Immunization Form is available here, at the Wellness Centers, or at the Public Safety Information Desks.

Students should fax or drop off the completed form to:
