Penn State Student Health Services Information
One of the early steps you must take once your application has been accepted by Penn State is to make sure your student is properly vaccinated. All students are required to be vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. Vaccination information for each student needs to be submitted to the college online for verification. If your student plans to live on campus, they will also need to be vaccinated against meningitis.
