All new students (freshman, transfers, and others) attending regularly scheduled classes or living on-campus will be required to submit a certificate of vaccination outlined on the College's health form prior to attending classes. Students failing to submit necessary documentation may be prohibited from entering campus until such paperwork is received. This form will be kept on file and will be valid throughout the tenure of the student's enrollment. The purpose of this new policy is to ensure that students are protected against communicable diseases that are preventable and to reduce the likelihood of an epidemic or threatened epidemic on the LaGrange College campus.
