Internship and volunteer opportunities are available to students, and educational resources are available for student research or classroom projects.
Immunization Compliance
All students must be in compliance with New York State law regarding immunizations to be able to register for classes. All students born on or after January 1, 1957, are required to submit proof of current requirements for immunization against measles, mumps, and rubella. The health center provides measles, mumps, and rubella immunizations at no charge for students who need vaccinations. New York State Public Law and Buffalo State College also require all students enrolled to complete and return the Meningitis Information Response Form. The meningitis form and the New Student Health Form are available online and are to be returned to the health center. As of fall 2021, all students are required to be fully vaccinated for COVID. If vaccines are provided in NYS, Weigel should be able to retrieve them on the state’s immunization systems. Call (716) 878-6711 to verify that Weigel can obtain your vaccine records.
