IMPORTANT: All students who are enrolled in any courses that require in-person class meetings or other in-person requirements, such as testing, faculty meetings, tutoring, computer lab access, or any other on-campus activities, must be in compliance with the meningitis immunization requirement before the first class meeting.
Texas law requires all incoming Texas college students to get a vaccination or booster against bacterial meningitis, or provide an approved medical or conscientious exemption that meets the state’s required documentation requirements. View Meningitis Compliance Steps.
The law applies to you if you are:
- Under 22 years old, AND

- Returning after a break in enrollment of one semester or more, OR
- Transferring to ACC from another college or university, OR
- A Continuing Education student who is enrolled in integrated credit classes. (Check with CE for instructions.)
You are automatically exempt if you are:
- 22 years or older by the first day of the semester, OR
- A dual-credit or Early College High School student, OR
- Taking Continuing Education classes that are NOT integrated with credit classes and have fewer than 360 contact hours.
