Health History and Immunization Records
VERY IMPORTANT!
New students cannot access housing assignments, class schedules, or parking and arrival passes until health history and immunization record forms have been submitted.
In accordance with New York Public Health Law Sections 2165 and 2167, all students who were born on or after Tuesday, January 1, 1957, and registered for six or more credit hours or residing in University housing, must demonstrate proof of immunization for measles, mumps, rubella and meningococcal disease.
The following immunization records must be submitted before arriving on campus:
- Two measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations

Using your SU NetID username and password, log into the Patient Portal to submit the needed health history and immunization record forms today!
You may acquire records by contacting your primary care physician or previous school or institution. The health and wellness team is available to assist students who have not been vaccinated or do not have vaccination records.

About your residence hall room
Once you've received your housing assignment, we recommend you take a "virtual tour" to get a sense of the general size and set-up of your room on the
residential facilities page. You can check out the floor plans of your residence hall and view the room dimensions at the bottom of the page. You can also view photos of your hall on the
Residence Hall Photos page on ReadySet.
All North Campus residence halls and South Campus Skyhalls are furnished with extra-long twin size beds (36" x 80"), dressers, mirrors, curtains, closet space, desk and chair.
