Immunizations

Massachusetts law requires that all incoming students (first year or transfer) demonstrate proof of immunization, which can be shown by completing and returning the Entrance Health Certificate that is included students’ acceptance packets. The student and his/her health care provider should complete the form and mail it to:

Wentworth Institute of Technology
Health Services
550 Huntington Ave
Boston, MA 02115

Failure to have complete immunizations on record may result in students' inability to register for first semester classes.

All incoming students are strongly encouraged to have a physical examination prior to their arrival at Wentworth.
