Update

Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities will be administered in compliance with the law as of June 27, 2025.

Vaccinations

All new students (part-time or greater) enrolling at Ohio State are required to have vaccinations for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B and varicella (chickenpox). Students who are new to our residence halls will also be required to have the meningococcal vaccine (conjugate ACWY) recommended by the CDC.
