Vaccinations are required, upon initial enrollment, for all students, except those enrolled in Applied Behavioral Analysis (Certificate) and Applied Positive Psychology (MS) Programs - Please read below for the exception for these two programs.

ABA Certificate students:

As an ABA certificate student, your required coursework is fully online. However, if you wish to visit campus in person for any reason or participate in an off-campus school event in person, you must complete the Medical History Questionnaire, which includes providing your documented vaccination history. Students who would like to be in-person at any point are required to provide labs related to blood titers if their vaccination records are not available. The cost for lab work and for medical visits to complete the MHQ is the student's responsibility. PCOM has a process to request an exemption for vaccination requirements based on disability or religious practice. To engage in that process, please email titleixcoordinator@pcom.edu.
