Measles Immunization Requirement

Measles (Rubeola) can be a serious and life-threatening illness. As a public health measure for the safety of all members of our campus community Evergreen has adopted the following immunization requirement using guidelines and recommendations provided by the U.S. Center for Disease Control, the American College Health Association and state and local public health departments.

This requirement applies to all new undergraduate and graduate students. To meet the requirement, upload your documentation to Health eConnect located on My Evergreen.

• Option 1: Documentation that you have had 2 Measles (Rubeola) vaccines since 1969.
• Option 2: Documentation that you have had the disease of Measles (Rubeola).
• Option 3: Documentation that you have had a positive Measles (Rubeola) antibody test (Titer).
• Option 4: For a medical or religious reason, you may sign the Measles Waiver (PDF).

All students born after 1956 must submit documentation of immunity to Measles (Rubeola).

If you have signed the waiver and a Measles outbreak occurs, you will be asked to leave campus for a minimum of two weeks from the time of the last diagnosed case, resulting in missed classes, coursework and compensation from work.

Finding My Records

If you grew up in Washington state or have received healthcare services in this state, your immunization records may have been added to the Washington Immunization Information System (WA-IIS) through the Washington Department of Health website. You may sign up for a MyIR account which will allow you to view a report of all immunizations entered on your behalf.

if you think you have records from another state, This list of all state contacts may be helpful to you.

Request immunization records from your current or former primary care provider(s). If you’ve had an employer require immunizations, you should be able to request a copy. Immunization records are often located in parents’/guardians’ records. Previous schools may also have a copy of your immunization records.

Forms Processing

Student Wellness Services will make every effort to process forms/uploads within 24-48 hours or as soon possible. We will only contact you if there is a problem with your form and/or documentation.

If you have additional questions, call Student Wellness Services during open hours.

Student Concerns

Are you concerned about one of your classmates? You may submit a Report of Community Concern. Use the reporting form (rather than email), which allows for quicker outreach to get the student connected to a staff member and CARE Team tracking to ensure appropriate follow-up.

First Monday of every month from 4 - 5 pm
In Student Wellness Services (Sem II B3100)

A monthly drop-in space to experiment with practical strategies, talk with other neurodivergent students, and figure out what actually works for you. Come to one or come to all. No diagnosis required. Open to all Evergreen students.

Neurodivergent Skills Lab Topics

• October 5 - Making Friends Is Hard
  Making friends can be confusing, especially when social rules don't come naturally. We’ll talk about meeting people, moving from acquaintance to friend, making plans, navigating rejection, and maintaining friendships without exhausting yourself.
• November 2 - How Do I Make Myself Do the Thing?
  You know what you need to do, but you still can't start. We’ll experiment with task initiation strategies, body doubling, making things smaller, adding stimulation, and figuring out what’s actually getting in the way.
• December 7 - What Atually Needs to Get Done?
  When everything feels equally urgent, deciding what to do first can be harder than doing it. Learn ways to prioritize, break down overwhelming tasks, work with your available energy, and decide what can wait.
• January 4 - Systems That Actually Work for You
  Planners and routines don't work for everyone. We’ll explore reducing friction, externalizing memory, changing your environment, and creating systems that fit how you actually function.
• February 1 - Sensory Stuff
  Noise, lights, textures, crowds, movement, and other sensory input can have a huge impact on your capacity. Learn to recognize your sensory patterns, notice overload earlier, and identify what helps you regulate.
• March 1 - Time is Weird
  Why does a 3 p.m. appointment somehow take up the entire day? We’ll explore time blindness, transitions, estimating time, deadlines, reminders, and ways to make time more visible.
• April 5 - How Does Your Brain Focus?
  Instead of another lesson about avoiding distractions, let's figure out what actually helps your brain engage. Explore stimulation, movement, body doubling, environment, task pairing, and hyperfocus.
• May 3 - When You Have No Capacity Left
  Instead of another lesson about avoiding distractions, let's figure out what actually helps your brain engage. Explore stimulation, movement, body doubling, environment, task pairing, and hyperfocus.
• June 7 - What Actually Worked?
  Forget what you were supposed to do. We'll look at what actually helped this year and build a personal toolkit around your focus, sensory needs, executive functioning, relationships, and energy.
