Proof of Meningitis Vaccine

Texas State law (SB 62) mandates that all entering students under the age of 22 provide a certificate signed by a health care provider or an official immunization record verifying that a student has been vaccinated against bacterial meningitis or has received a booster during the five years preceding admission to the University.

Students cannot pre-register for courses without having submitted appropriate medical documentation. Please visit the Health Services - Meningitis website to learn more.
