According to Connecticut State Law, all students born after January 1, 1957 and entering an institution of higher education must show proof of having received immunizations for measles and rubella (German measles). For your own safety and that of your classmates, you will not be permitted to register for classes until the university's Health Services Office receives proof of immunity for its records.
Each full time student is required to have a physical exam before entering school, please follow requirements listed (Medical forms are enclosed in the admissions packet that was mailed to you):
