These records are required upon entry to the College and are on file in the Student Health Center. For more information refer to Immunization Handbook for New York State Post-secondary Institutions > Section I Requirements

Go to your CONNECT.OLDWESTBURY.EDU account, sign in, click on the Finances button, click on the Order Parking Permit button, and follow the instructions there.
