All entering students are required to provide a completed Health History form with a physical as well as a record of current immunizations. These documents must be presented to the Health and Wellness Center prior to course registration. The New York Public Health Law requires post-secondary students attending colleges and universities to demonstrate proof of immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella. All undergraduate and graduate students taking 6 credits or more must comply. The law applies to persons born on or after January 1, 1957. Nursing, pharmacy and students in the mental health program born before January 1, 1957 must show proof of immunity to rubella. Proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella means the following:
- Measles (Rubeola): Two doses of live measles vaccine given on or after the first birthday or physician-documented history of disease or serological evidence of immunity.
- Rubella (German Measles): One dose of live virus rubella vaccine given on or after the first birthday or serological evidence of immunity.
- Mumps: One dose of live mumps vaccine given on or after the first birthday or physician-documented history of disease or serological evidence of immunity.
New York State Public Health Law also requires that all college and university students enrolled for at least six credits complete and return the Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccination Response form.
Proof of immunization compliance is required prior to course registration.
Once admitted to St. John Fisher College, students can expect to continue in attendance at the College as long as they maintain satisfactory academic standing, meet their financial obligation to the College, and do not seriously or persistently violate existing College regulations (see the Student Conduct website at www.sjfc.edu/student-life/student-conduct/).
St. John Fisher College expects all students to conduct themselves professionally, as befits those pursuing an advanced degree. Any student who engages in disruptive behavior may be subject to disciplinary action. Academic dismissal from the College occurs only after appropriate review and according to established College procedures.
Students are considered full-time if they are enrolled in nine or more graduate credits in a semester. Students are considered part-time if they are enrolled in fewer than nine graduate credits in a semester.
Note: For financial aid purposes, twelve credits is considered full-time and nine credits is considered three-quarter-time.
The College offers many services to assist students in their academic progress and promote their personal growth.
