Deadline: Friday, August 1, 2025
Average Time to Complete: One Month
Processing Time Once Submitted: 2 weeks to 2 months
New York State public health law requires that all students document immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR), as well as document that they have either received the Meningitis vaccine or have declined to receive it. Failure to comply will prevent matriculation into the EMBA program; to be stated even more clearly, Columbia University will not recognize you as a student unless these requirements have been satisfied. It often takes time to locate childhood MMR vaccination records, making it imperative you begin this process now. If you know already that finding the records will be difficult, schedule a titer test to prove immunity or even better start a new round of the 2-dose MMR vaccine this week.
Records should be uploaded to the Columbia Health Patient Portal by Friday, August 1. Detailed information on the MMR immunization requirement can be found here. Please allow at least 15 business days for the Immunization Compliance Office for processing.
Please note that submitting all immunizations is a mandatory component of your application, and non-compliance will force a hold on your University registration.
For detailed information on these immunization requirements, including ways to document MMR immunity, please refer to the University's Health Services site. If you have any questions or issues, please contact the Immunization Compliance Office at [email protected] or 212-854-7210.
Provide a secure digital upload via the Columbia Health Patient Portal.
Immunization Records can be added in the the "Medical Clearances/Insurance Enrollment" section (Instructions)

Columbia Business School offers all students the option to add pronouns and name pronunciation to Canvas using the NameCoach tool. This effort is part of the Pronouns in Use pilot program in partnership with the Office of University Life.
Selecting your pronouns and/or recording the pronunciation of your name is optional. If you opt to select your pronouns and/or record your name using the NameCoach tool in Canvas, this information will be visible to faculty and fellow students. We encourage all faculty and students to review the NameCoach section for their courses, as using students' pronouns and name pronunciation will help to enhance inclusion and the sense of belonging on campus.
