Beginning with the Fall 2023 semester, all incoming first-year and new undergraduate transfer students will be asked to report their immunization status for vaccines that offer increased protection from vaccine-preventable diseases and outbreaks. The reporting form is easy to fill out if students have a copy of their immunization record. More information can be found on the GVSU Health Hub website.
Due to federal regulations at health care organizations, students in health and health-related programs who have placements will still be required to receive the COVID vaccine or follow the exception process outlined on the health compliance website.
Additional Information
There is not a Parent/Supporter Orientation available on Transfer Orientation days. The Laker Family Network is the parent/supporter resource for supporting student success in partnership with Grand Valley.
