Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Immunization Requirements - All degree-seeking students (including transfer and graduate students) born on or after January 1, 1957, must provide immunization documentation for two rubeola (measles), two rubella (German measles), and two mumps immunizations. The completed state of Colorado Certificate of Immunization for College Students form must be turned in to the Immunization Office at Wardenburg Health Center by October 19, 2008, for fall 2008 and March 1, 2009, for spring 2009. If the form is not turned in by then, the university will place a "hold" on the following semester's registration, and a fee of $25 will be assessed.
