& Wales University and North Carolina Immunization law
require that all new, full-time students — residents and commuters

- A physical exam within the last year (examination form: Form
2 (84K PDF), with physician's signature and parent/guardian
signature for students under 18).
- 3 tetanus-diphtheria vaccines (DTP/DTaP/Td) with one Td booster
dose within last 10 years (required).

last 6 months (required).

- Hepatitis B series and Chicken Pox Vaccine (required).

*Important Note: "Recent studies show that certain college
students, particularly freshmen living in dormitories, have a sixfold
increased risk for meningitis... Cases of meningitis among teens
and young adults 15-24 years of age — the age of most college
students — have more than doubled since 1991...A vaccine is
available against four strains of the bacteria that cause meningococcal
meningitis in the United States." source: American College

Failure to meet any of these requirements will result in a Health
Services hold being placed on your account. A hold prohibits you
from registering/reinstating at the University. In addition, since
you are no longer an active student attending the University on
a full-time basis, you are not eligible to reside on campus and
will lose your housing assignment. All documents must be submitted
to Health & Counseling Services before a hold will be removed.
