In order to register for classes, all newly enrolled students born on or after January 1, 1957 must submit documentation proving immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella (German measles) as well as complete and sign the Student Immunization Form (PDF) to the Health Programs/Immunization Requirements Office. You may e-mail the form to the Health Programs Office. The immunization requirements are as follows:
The meningococcal vaccination is not mandatory, but you are required to submit the
Meningitis Acknowledgment Form. You can do this by signing into CUNYfirst >
Navigating to Student Services Center > and clicking on the Meningitis
Acknowledgment link in your to-do list. If you have received the meningitis
vaccination within the past five years, you may choose the first option. If you do,
you must submit hard copy proof with that date. Hint: You may also choose the third
option declining it. The record will upload
into your CUNYfirst account and the meningitis hold will be removed immediately.
Feel free to contact us with any further questions.
New York State Public Health Law 2167 requires all postsecondary institutions to provide
information on meningitis and the meningitis vaccine to all students registering for six
credits or more (or its equivalent) and requires all students (regardless of age) to
submit a Meningococcal Meningitis Vaccination Response Form signed by the student or
student’s parent or guardian to the Health Programs / Immunization Requirements Office.
The form acknowledges the receipt of mandatory meningococcal disease and vaccination
information. Vaccination is not required.
Health Insurance:
The Affordable Care Act is a federal law that requires everyone to have health
insurance. Eligible students may sign up for Medicaid and Child Health Plus through the
Exchange at any time. You can look for health insurance in the New York State–run New
York State of Health, the official health plan marketplace. For more information, e-mail
New York State of Health.

The Brooklyn College Women’s Center is one of the oldest college women’s centers
in the
United States. By expanding the conventional direct services approach of traditional
women’s centers, which focuses on solving immediate crises through referrals and/or
counseling, the Brooklyn College Women’s Center is committed to adopting a wide range of
multidimensional needs-driven program activities that address the emotional,
intellectual, physical and financial well-being of the whole person. Our challenge is to
create, promote and organize programs that raise awareness of women’s issues and in
return empower participants to live a life that will reduce victimization, encourage
self-sufficiency and independence, and model the skills to help women organize and
sustain an environment of self-awareness where they are better able to maintain a
healthy life style and make choices that will positively impact their own
future.
Programs and Services
Daily Drop-In: The center houses the Returning Women’s Café, a multi-function
drop-in lounge, the Alice Miller Computer Lounge, and a resource center. Coffee and tea
are available during regular office hours.
Crisis Intervention: The center provides crisis intervention and advocacy
services to Brooklyn College students on academic or nonacademic issues.
Organizations and Clubs
The Exchange is a club that is dedicated to on-campus community building and the
fostering of open-dialogue and support networks. Brooklyn College hosts a multitude of
students from different backgrounds. The Exchange seeks to be a meeting point for our
students, providing a safe-space for free conversation, connectivity, and networking,
and there’s no better place to do this than over food. Our events consist largely of
monthly Friday Potlucks during the semester. Despite COVID restrictions, The Exchange
remains dedicated to community through virtual events.
