Immunization Policy

In accordance with state law (Louisiana R.S. 17:170 Schools of Higher Learning) all students born after January 1, 1957, enrolling for the first time at Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University must furnish proof of immunization for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Students of all ages are required to provide proof of tetanus and diphtheria vaccination (Tdap or Td) within ten years prior to enrollment. In addition, the meningitis vaccine or a meningitis waiver is required for all students. The meningitis vaccine is required for all students enrolled in the Physician Assistant Studies or Medical Laboratory Science programs. The required proof is to be submitted to the Office of Health and Wellness following receipt of your acceptance letter from the Office of Admissions. Students will not be allowed to complete registration until the immunization requirement is satisfied. The immunization form that is available to all applicants describes these requirements in more detail.
