The State of Connecticut requires all matriculating, degree seeking students attending the university, whether full-time or part-time, who were born after 12/31/56 to present a valid certificate of immunization covering measles and rubella. The certificate will be required before permission to register is granted.

Non-degree students receiving special permission to attend on a full-time basis who were born after 12/31/56 are also subject to this state requirement.

In addition, the University of Connecticut requires all degree seeking and all non-degree students registered for 12 or more credits at Storrs (regardless of age) to complete a Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Questionnaire. Students who are enrolled in online courses only are exempt from the mandatory immunization requirements.

All students, regardless of registration status, are strongly urged to obtain measles and rubella immunizations and to retain documentation. In the event of an outbreak, proof of immunization may be required in order to attend classes.

University housing and meal plans are available to registered non-degree students during May Term and Summer Sessions. General information will be available through Residential Life at www.reslife.uconn.edu.
