Students must submit a completed health examination and immunization history by established deadlines. Students enrolled at a campus in the states of LA and NV must complete all immunization requirements as outlined in the academic catalog prior to attending their first class. These immunizations include Meningitis, MMR, and Tdap. Failure to submit all healthcare compliance requirements by the deadlines will result in the student’s ineligibility to attend class rendering them out of compliance. Students will be dropped from any future sessions until pre-registration immunizations required by state law are received and approved.
