Northern Arizona University requires that all students attending the Flagstaff mountain campus, including Coconino Community College students living in a NAU residence hall, provide medical documentation of their immunization or immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella (“MMR”). Students born prior to 1957 are exempt from this requirement, as are NAU students not attending the Flagstaff mountain campus.

Students must submit ONE of the following:

• a copy of your healthcare provider immunization records; OR
• a copy of your immunization records from any previous school or college you attended; OR
• laboratory test results showing proof of a positive MMR blood titer; OR
• a completed Northern Arizona University MMR Immunization Verification Form; OR
• a completed Northern Arizona University MMR Immunization Declination Form; OR
• proof of your date of birth prior to 1957

The preferred method is electronically. Go to the Campus Health Portal and enter your NAU credentials. Then click the “Immunization Requirement” link and follow the instructions. You will need to upload scans of your MMR documentation. Alternatively, you may drop your documentation off in person at the Campus Health Services office in the Health and Learning Center (Bldg. 25) or submit it by:

Mail: Campus Health Services Immunizations

No. All MMR documentation submitted to Campus Health Services must be in English. Contact your health care provider for a translated copy.

Your healthcare provider can order an MMR blood titer to check your status and you may submit the results. If the test shows that you do not have immunity, you must get the MMR vaccine.

To protect public health and safety in the event of an outbreak on the Flagstaff mountain campus, all students who have not demonstrated their immunity to measles, mumps or rubella will be required to evacuate and will not be allowed to return until it is determined safe to do so by public health officials. NAU does not provide tuition or fee refunds in such cases to students who have failed to submit to Campus Health Services one of the forms of valid MMR documentation outlined in Question #2 above.

Start with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) MMR vaccination webpage. You can also visit the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) website or The Arizona Partnership for Immunization’s webpage for college students.

Yes, the MMR vaccine is available by appointment for a fee from Campus Health Services. The vaccination consists of two shots that must be given at least 28 days apart. Students who have received the first shot are eligible for a temporary immunization hold override to allow them to enroll and attend classes while waiting to receive the second shot. The immunization hold will be reimposed if a student fails to receive the second MMR immunization shot.

Northern Arizona University, the American College Health Association, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommend that all college students be up-to-date on the following immunizations:

• MENINGOCOCCAL ACWY (Meningitis)
• MENINGOCOCCAL B (Meningitis)
• TDAP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis)
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
• HEPATITIS A and B
• VARICELLA

An annual INFLUENZA vaccine is also recommended. All of these vaccines are available by appointment for a fee from Campus Health Services.
