As a prerequisite for registration, Johnson & Wales University and North Carolina Immunization law require that all new, full-time students — residents and commuters alike — submit documented proof of:

  • 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).
  • Negative PPD/CXR Tuberculosis test or chest x-ray within the last 6 months (required).
  • 2 MMRs: measles, mumps, rubella vaccine (required).
  • Hepatitis B series and Chicken Pox Vaccine (required).
  • Meningitis vaccine and Hepatitis A vaccine (strongly recommended*).

*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 Health Association

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.
