Colorado State law requires any student enrolled for one or more credit hours in higher education to comply with the State’s immunization policy. This policy also applies to active military students, graduate students, students taking on-line only classes and those studying abroad.
The immunization requirement is in place to ensure the health and safety of all constituents on the Auraria campus and the university is required by state law to enforce this requirement in the interest of public health.
Students must comply with the State of Colorado’s Immunization Policy requirements for higher education by submitting documentation of their previous immunizations, specifically providing proof of 2 doses of combined MMR vaccine(measles/mumps/rubella.) or proof of having received two doses of measles vaccine, two doses of mumps vaccine and two doses of rubella vaccine. This documentation must be submitted during the first semester of attendance by the immunization deadline to the Auraria Immunizations Office. The summer/fall deadline is October 1 and the spring deadline is March 1.
Students living in on-campus housing must provide proof of Meningococcal Meningitis Immunization within the most recent 5 years. Those who have not received this immunization have two options:
- Complete the Auraria Immunization Compliance Form and indicate in the Meningococcal Waiver section that you have reviewed and understand the risks of contracting meningococcal meningitis and do not intend to receive the vaccine.
- Schedule a vaccination. Vaccination is available at The Health Center at Auraria or with your healthcare provider. Health insurance covers 100% of routine vaccines. Call 303-615-9997 to schedule and/or verify insurance eligibility.”
Students who do not comply with this requirement will not be able to eligible to register for future semesters. Non-compliant students will have an immunization “hold” put on their account if they have not submitted their immunization documentation by the published deadline during their first semester of attendance.
