Students who fail to meet pre-enrollment compliance deadlines for immunization requirements will be subject to conditional enrollment status and late penalties. A HOLD will be placed on the student's ability to register for future classes. This registration hold can only be removed after the required proof of immunization has been submitted and processed. Students should regularly check their SSU e-mail and My SSU accounts for their hold status.
If you have not been vaccinated, you can be seen by a private healthcare provider or at the Student Health Center prior to the start of the semester. Entering students who've paid their SSU Enrollment Reservation Deposit may get immunizations at the SHC prior to the start of their first semester of SSU classes. Immunizations are provided at a nominal fee; insurance is not accepted at the SHC. Students who have a medical contraindication to immunization should contact the SHC for assistance at (707) 664-2921.
