diphtheria, tetanus, meningitis, measles, rubella and mumps and such other vaccination as the State of Illinois elects to mandate. In addition, International students must provide a recent Interferon Gamma Assay (IGRA) through T SPOT or Quantiferon Gold serum testing prior to their arrival to the United States. Blood tests must be drawn no earlier than 4 weeks prior to arrival. Immunization records must be submitted to Student Health and Wellness by or before the first day of class. A registration hold will be placed on the accounts, which will have the effect of prohibiting registration for the subsequent semester, of all students who are non-compliant with the immunization requirement. As and to the extent allowed by Illinois law, exemption from one or more of the specific requirements may be granted based on documented medical or religious reasons. Please complete and submit the appropriate exemption form, which can be found online at https://web.iit.edu/shwc. Anyone with a vaccine exemption may be excluded from Illinois Tech in the event of a measles, rubella, mumps, meningitis or diphtheria outbreak in accordance with public health law. Please contact the Student Health and Wellness Center with any questions regarding the immunization policy or requirements at 312-567-7550 or via e-mail at student.health@iit.edu.
C. Concealed Carry and Prohibition Regarding Firearms and Weapons
Illinois Tech has established a Concealed Carry and Prohibition Regarding Firearms and Weapons on Campus Policy pursuant to the 2013 Illinois Firearm Concealed Carry Act and its enabling regulations. The terms and provisions of this Policy are posted online at https://web.iit.edu/sites/web/files/departments/general-counsel/policies/procedure_q9_weapon_prohibition.pdf are incorporated by this reference.
In sum, as Illinois Tech is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for the Illinois Tech community and its guests, it has established broad restrictions on the ability to carry Firearms or Weapons, concealed or otherwise, on its Campus. In short, this means that no person covered by this Policy, unless authorized by law or specifically exempted by federal or state law or this Policy, is authorized to possess a Weapon or Firearm while engaged in Illinois Tech-related business or activities or otherwise present in, on or about the Property of Illinois Tech located on the Campus.
D. Disciplinary Proceedings Due to Receipt of Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice
If Illinois Tech receives from a content owner a notice of copyright infringement, i.e., a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice, then the person to whom the Internet Protocol (IP) Address and/or computer system is registered and to which such notice is attached, shall be charged with violating Illinois Tech Procedure No. Q-3, entitled Use of Technology Resources, and its provisions regarding copyright infringement and Item 14 of the Code of Conduct. (See Section R below and Article II, Section A of this Student Handbook, respectively.) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Student Handbook, a student so charged shall be subject to discipline in accordance with the following procedures:
FIRST OFFENSE: If the student has never before been referred to the Office of Community Standards for such violations, the student has the option of an “expedited resolution”. To take advantage of this option, the student must accept responsibility for the offense, complete an on- line tutorial about copyright within 7 days of being notified of the violation and pay a fine of $100. Once the tutorial is completed, the matter will be closed with a “P2P Warning”.
SECOND OFFENSE: If the student acknowledges that they are responsible for these violations and they have been referred to the Office of Community Standards previously for such violations, the student must, within 7 days of being notified of the violations, schedule a meeting with the Office of Community Standards to explain their behavior. Additionally, the student must pay a $200 fine and a disciplinary warning will be issued by the Office of Community Standards. This warning will become part of the student's disciplinary file.
THIRD OFFENSE: If the student has at least twice previously admitted to improper use of the Illinois Tech computer network (See points 1 and 2 above), the student’s access to the Illinois Tech network from the offending IP Address and/or computer can be terminated for a period of 90 days,
