All incoming UL Lafayette students are required to obtain proof and maintain records of the following vaccines under Louisiana Revised Statute 17:170 (as mandated by Act 10147 of 1990) for enrollment. In addition, each student must undergo a screening for Tuberculosis (TB).
Online students: Classes held off-site are considered an extension of the 欧美三级片 campus by the State of Louisiana; therefore, you are subject to the same immunization requirements as students attending in-person classes.
All students: If you are not in compliance with these requirements, an immunization hold is placed on a student's record. That hold will prevent you from registering for classes until you are compliant with all 欧美三级片 Immunization Compliance Requirements.
