The
Illinois Post-Secondary Educational Institution Immunization Law (Public Act 85-1315) requires
that all new students show documentation of immunity to tetanus/diphtheria, measles, rubella
and mumps before they can register for classes.
IMPORTANT: You will not be permitted
to enroll in classes or move into your assigned residence hall until Monmouth College receives
