Students must submit verification of the meningitis vaccination during their enrollment at the University of Connecticut.

Connecticut State law requires that any college or university student residing in university owned housing be vaccinated against meningitis. Meningitis immunization verification must be listed on your Health History Form.

Summer school students who are part time or non-matriculated do not need to comply with the meningitis vaccination requirements. The intent of the law was to require incoming students who are full time and or matriculated to be vaccinated (similar to the Rubella/Rubeola regulations).
