Immunization & Health Requirements
 Residence
Halls Students
Education and Health Promotion: Health
Services works in collaboration with Residence Life to promote Health
and Wellness in the Residence Halls. Through health programs and education,
we assist students to maintain their health in order to succeed in their
college experiences.
Nurses on Wheels (N.O.W.) is a program where
the nurses from Health Services bring educational health programs to the
Residence Halls.
Residence Life Health Requirements:
Because students in the residence halls live
close together, the risk of acquiring and spreading disease is higher
than in the general population. Due to this there are minimum preventative
health standards required for living in the residence halls. One of these
is the increased risk of acquiring meningococcal meningitis. Due to this
risk, the meningitis vaccine is recommended for students living in residence
halls.
- Verification of MMR vaccination
or titers proving immunity - same as general student population
- Meningitis Vaccine - recommended,
see above and click here for more information
- Proof of Health Insurance
- students who do not have health insurance may purchase MCC's Optional
Sickness Insurance or purchase their own insurance plan
- Illness/Injury Response:
It is recommended that students living away from home be prepared to
respond to emergency situations
