Immunizations
ALL UMBC STUDENTS are required to have the following
immunizations:
- 2 MMR's (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) after your 1st birthday (unless you were born before 1957)
ALL STUDENTS LIVING IN ON CAMPUS HOUSING
Meningitis: Maryland law requires that all students living in on-campus
housing have meningitis vaccine within 3 years of entering UMBC
or sign a waiver stating that they understand the risks of meningitis
and elect not to have the vaccine.
ALL INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Tuberculosis (TB) test: All international students are required to
have a TB skin test (PPD) in the United States within 3 months of
beginning study at UMBC.
Proof of all required immunizations must be submitted to UHS at
the beginning of your first semester at UMBC. Proof of immunizations
must have a health care provider’s signature and be provided
in English. If you have not submitted the required proof of immunizations,
you will not be able to register for classes for future semesters.
You can download the “Mandatory UMBC Health Form” and, have your local provider fill out the necessary information, sign it, and fax it to UHS at 410-455-1125.
If you are coming into UHS for an immunization, you can save yourself some time by printing out a copy of the Immunization Screening and Informed Consent Form
and completing it before coming to UHS.
