COVID-19 Vaccination Compliance - Missed Immunization Requirement Deadline: You won't be able to register for fall classes

Dear %%First Name%% %%Last Name%%,

Our records indicate you have not submitted all of your immunization requirements. As a result, a fall 2022 course registration hold will be assigned to your student account on Tuesday, March 15. 

In order to remove the registration hold and ensure you are able to register for fall 2022 classes, please complete the following requirements as soon as possible:

  • COVID-19 vaccine:
    In support of the university’s commitment to health and safety, CU Boulder requires students to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or file an exemption.

  • COVID-19 booster:
    To comply with CU Boulder’s updated COVID-19 guidance, members of our community are required to receive a vaccine booster shot no more than five months after receiving the final dose of the original series. Alternatively, the university’s booster reporting requirement can be completed by filing for an exemption.

  • Meningococcal (ACWY) vaccine:
    CU Boulder requires all students under the age of 23 living in university-operated housing to submit proof of the meningitis (Men-ACWY) vaccine given within the last five years. The meningitis (Men-ACWY) vaccine requirement must be completed by students living in a residence hall, Bear Creek, Athens Court, Athens North, Marine Court, Newton Court or Smiley Court.

  • Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine:
    Colorado State Law requires all new students to submit proof of two (2) doses each of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination.

In order to complete these requirements, you must either submit proof of vaccination or an immunization exemption form online and complete the Required Immunization Questionnaire.

Follow these instructions to complete your immunization requirements.

  • Click the ‘Immunizations’ button at the top of the portal. A drop down-menu will appear.

  • From the drop-down menu select ‘View History’. A new page will load showing your immunization submission history.

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and view ‘Missing Immunizations’ and ‘Reason not Compliant’ next to each requirement.

  • Click the ‘Print’ icon to see a detailed catalog of all past submissions and potential reasons why the compliance element is missing.

If you are unable to determine why you are non-compliant, please email immunizations@colorado.edu. Due to high volume, responses are typically provided within 7 to 10 business days. 

Students are encouraged to submit documentation well in advance of the first course registration date to ensure your hold is cleared and you can register for classes. Our busiest document review periods and longest response timeframes are the day of the immunization deadline and the week after course registration opens. Submit your documentation now to avoid delays in the processing and the removal of your hold. Immunization holds cannot be temporarily removed in order to register for classes. The immunization requirements must be met before you can register.

If you have any questions, please email the Immunizations Compliance team at immunizations@colorado.edu.

Please note:Students will receive an automated response stating they have completed their requirement only when all vaccination requirements are complete. If you do not receive confirmation, the immunizations team will contact you to request additional information. The process of verifying records and resolving any discrepancies may take 7-10 business days.
