Students will not be permitted to register for classes without proof of Immunization. An immunization hold will be placed on your record, and will NOT be lifted until acceptable proof of immunization is submitted and accepted by the college. Students born on or after January 1, 1957 who wish to register for more than 5 credits in any single semester are required to have one of the following on file with the College: Proof of immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella diseases before registering* OR An approved medical exemption. *Only ONE of the following is required as proof of immunization: Proof of two doses of the MMR live vaccine, with the first dose given no more than 4 days prior to the first birthday, and the second at least 28 days after the first dose; (1) Proof of two doses of the live measles vaccine, with the first dose given no more than 4 days prior to the first birthday and the second at least 28 days after the first dose, AND (2) one dose of the live mumps vaccine received no more than 4 days prior to the first birthday, AND (3) one dose of live rubella vaccine received no more than 4 days prior to the first birthday; Serological proof of MMR immunity (titer).

COVID-19 Vaccine:

*UPDATED COVID VACCINE GUIDANCE*

Beginning with the 2023 Summer Sessions at SUNY Orange, COVID-19 vaccines are no longer required to attend any SUNY school in-person. However, SUNY could change the vaccine requirement in the future, so the Wellness Center will still be collecting your vaccine dates if you have been vaccinated. When you are uploading your immunization records, please include your COVID-19 vaccine dates if applicable. 

We highly encourage everyone to stay current with your COVID-19 vaccines, as vaccination is the best protection from this highly contagious disease. COVID-19 is still rapidly spreading, and we have no way of knowing if the SUNY Vaccination Policy will change in the future.

*Please note that if you are going to be participating in an internship or clinical practicum outside of SUNY Orange, you will be required to follow the requirements of the outside setting.

You can email wellnesscenter@sunyorange.edu or call us at (845) 341-4870 with any questions.

We will continue to track COVID-19 vaccinations for all vaccinated students, as the SUNY Policy is always subject to change in the future. If you are unable to recieve your COVID-19 vaccinations due to medical or religious reasons, and do not foresee yourself being able to be vaccinated in the future if the current policy is reversed, you may apply for a medical or religious exemption.

To request an exemption to the COVID-19 Vaccine and/or booster requirement a student may submit a request for:

1. Medical Exemption:  Students must have a duly licensed health care provider certify in writing (using the SUNY Orange COVID-19 Medical Exemption Form by emailing the vpss@sunyorange.edu for the link) that the COVID-19 Vaccination may be detrimental to the student’s health.  The college shall provide reasonable accommodations to those students whose medical condition(s) contraindicates COVID-19 Vaccination so long as the failure to be vaccinated does not prevent the student from otherwise fulfilling the programmatic or curricular requirements of their academic program.
   
   
2. Religious Exemption: Students who hold genuine and sincere religious beliefs which are contrary to COVID-19 Vaccination may qualify for an exemption. Students requesting a religious exemption must submit a written statement (using the SUNY Orange COVID-19 Medical Exemption Form by emailing the vpss@sunyorange.edu for the link) that explains how receiving the COVID-19 Vaccination conflicts with the their sincere religious belief or practice and how not receiving the COVID-19 Vaccination will not otherwise prevent the student’s completion of their programmatic or curricular requirements of the academic program. General philosophical or moral objections to such vaccine shall not suffice as the basis for a religious exemption.  The statement must be written in the student’s own words.
