Health Forms & Immunizations

Ensuring the health and safety of our students is a top priority. By completing all applicable health forms and submitting your up-to-date immunization records, you play a vital role in helping us provide the best care for both you and our campus community.

Required Immunizations

Illinois State law (77 Ill. Adm. Code 694) mandates that students enrolling at a post-secondary education institution must provide proof of immunity or they will be precluded from enrolling in the subsequent term unless the student provides proof of immunity acceptable or is granted a medical exemption or religious exemption by Monmouth College. For more information regarding an exemption, contact Michelle Merritt.
