New Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Requirement for Fall 2013:

As of Jan. 1, 2012, incoming Texas college students and students returning after an absence of at least one fall or spring semester who are under 30 years old must submit documentation of immunization against bacterial meningitis. Students who fail to meet this requirement by the deadline will be dropped from courses. New international students are highly encouraged to receive their vaccination in their home country in order to meet the deadline for providing document for proof of the vaccination. Please carefully read the official UTA statement and FAQ regarding the required vaccination at http://www.uta.edu/news/info/meningitis.php.
