Upon receipt of your tuition deposit, you will receive by mail specific information and forms regarding the mandatory health requirements. You may also obtain the mandatory health requirements and forms at www.sunyit.edu/health_wellness.

• Meningitis NY State law requires all students on or off campus, regardless of credits, provide proof of either having the meningococcal vaccine or acknowledged receiving information about meningococcal disease and vaccination including availability and cost.

Students with (12) or more credits are required to have current health insurance coverage. If the student has other health insurance (under a parent's policy, employer, etc.) SUNYIT's designated health insurance may be waived on the web after you have a pin number, which new students receive at their initial registration.
