Non-compliant students will be de-registered pursuant to the directives of the law. Required health documentation: 1. Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) – NYS Health Law § 2165 requires that all students registered for six (6) or more credits provide documentation of immunity to MMR by either immunization or positive blood titers.

Health History and Physical Examination within the last two (2) years – Mandatory for all students registered for twelve (12) or more credits.

SUNYIT provides a basic, economical health insurance plan for students who need coverage or wish to purchase additional coverage.
a) Domestic Health Insurance Policy – EACH semester all domestic students taking twelve (12) or more credits are automatically billed for a health insurance policy as designated by SUNYIT. If a student has other health insurance coverage, i.e. under a parent or employer, and the student does not wish to purchase the SUNYIT designated health insurance, a waiver must be completed prior to attendance EACH semester. Automatic billing will occur if a waiver is not completed EACH semester. The health insurance waiver is completed electronically at http://health waiver.sunyit.edu . Students taking less than twelve (12) credits are not billed for the health insurance designed by SUNYIT but may purchase it at the Student Accounts Office each semester. b) International Health Insurance Policy- The State University of New York requires all international students entering the country for study or research, or any US student studying abroad in a SUNY-sponsored program purchase a SUNY health insurance policy. Health insurance information is mailed upon admission and students are automatically billed. Student Success Services Donovan Hall Room G174, 792-7805 Discover the way to build a foundation for academic and personal success and life-long learning. Student Success Services provides a variety of professionals, programs and activities designed to support students and promote academic achievement, personal growth, and progress toward graduation. Our mission is to promote student learning, leading to academic and personal success. The Counseling Center, Disabilities Services, Freshman Mentor Program, Educational Opportunity Program, Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program and International Student Services Offices make up the SUNYIT Student Success Services. Counseling Center Donovan Hall Room G174, 792-7805 Counseling services are provided for students who seek personal, educational, or vocational advice in a confidential setting. The Center offers workshops throughout the academic year on a variety of topics including stress management, test-taking skills, study skills and relaxation. Students are encouraged to visit the Counseling Center to discuss personal concerns, for assistance with problem solving, or for a referral if long-term psychological counseling or psychiatric services are required. Disabilities Services Office Donovan Hall Room G174, 792-7805 SUNYIT welcomes students with disabilities and strives to ensure compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II (The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990). It is important to note that postsecondary schools have 8 different requirements than high schools with regard to these laws. Some students may have an identified disability which affects learning or physical accessibility, and may be entitled to reasonable accommodations if supported by appropriate documentation. Students seeking accommodations must register with the Disabilities Services Office and provide consent for SUNYIT to request supporting documentation. Disclosure of a disability is always voluntary, but accommodations cannot be made without such disclosure. The exact nature of the disability is maintained as confidential by the Disabilities Services Office. Accommodations plans must be updated each semester. The Disabilities Services Office is not responsible for or able to provide evaluation services. The Disabilities Services Office does offer resource information and referral, supportive counseling, and advocacy services. It is important for students to consider help as early as possible. It is difficult to address issues of poor academic performance once they have occurred. Planning and prevention are the best solutions. Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) Donovan Hall Room G174, 792-7805 The college offers an academic and career preparation program for promising African-American, Hispanic, Native American Indian, Alaskan Native and economically disadvantaged students enrolled in mathematics, science, technology or health-related majors, and to those who enter fields in which they may seek professional licensure. CSTEP is funded by a grant from the New York State Education Department. Participants must be full-time matriculated students in good academic standing, and are required to participate in program offerings such as tutorials, internships/ job shadowing, career counseling and information sessions about graduate school. Additionally, workshops are offered to enhance career awareness – including resume writing, effective interviewing and networking skills. Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Donovan Hall Room G174, 792-7805 EOP is designed to identify New York State students who are educationally under-prepared, talented and in need of academic and financial support to attend college. Student services include tutorials, personal counseling, career planning and financial assistance. EOP offers higher education opportunities to freshmen and transfer applicants. Though freshmen candidates do not meet normal admissions criteria, they are talented and have the potential for post-secondary academic success. Transfer candidates must have previously been enrolled in EOP, the Higher Educational Opportunity Program (HEOP), and the Search for Education, Elevation and Knowledge Program (SEEK), the College Discovery Program, or a similar academic and financial support program. Freshmen applicants interested in applying for EOP must indicate their intent on the SUNY application for undergraduate admission. For transfer candidates, admission criteria and procedures are the same as other students. Subsequently, freshmen and transfer applicants must submit supplemental materials supplied by the EOP office to determine their eligibility.
