Please read about meningococcal disease and vaccination requirements here.
Failure to provide proof of immunity to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Meningitis or a signed Meningitis declination will result in disenrollment from classes 30 days from the start of the semester for domestic students and 45 days from the start of the semester for international students.
