Health Records and Information

Immunization Requirement

New York State Law §2165 requires college students enrolled in six or more credits per semester and who were born on or after January 1, 1957 to demonstrate proof of immunity against measles, mumps and rubella. Those students born before 1957 do not need to submit proof of immunity, but must submit proof of age. All students enrolled in at least six credits per semester are also required to document a decision about the meningococcal meningitis vaccine. The vaccine is optional; the documented decision is required. Students should upload proof of immunity (the MMC form or valid medical records) to their Admissions portal prior to the start of classes. Failure to comply with immunization requirements will result in an administrative withdrawal from all classes.

Health Insurance

All full-time MMC students (12 or more credits) are enrolled in and charged for the College’s Student Health Insurance Plan. Students who have equal or better coverage have the option to complete an online waiver before the September 30 deadline to be removed from the College plan. All international students who are residing in the US are required to participate in the College’s Health Plan. For details of the plan and a link to the online waiver site, please visit the Counseling and Wellness Center Health Insurance page on the MMC website.
