Student Health Form

(online version via HPU Gateway)
This form is required for all HPU students and will be maintained by the University Nurse. Please review the health form carefully for required vaccinations.

Shot Records

Shot records must be validated by a physician, public health clinic or transcript from school records. Per Texas state law, new students enrolling at HPU beginning in the Spring 2012 semester – and former students who are returning to HPU after an absence – must be vaccinated against bacterial meningitis prior to scheduling classes or S.W.A.R.M. events and at least 10 days before the first day of classes.

There are several names for the correct bacterial meningitis vaccination including MCV4,  MPSV4, quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, meningococcal A vaccine, Menactra, or Menveo.

Please note that although the meningococcal B vaccine/MenB vaccine compliments the MCV4 vaccine, it does not replace it, and it does not meet the state vaccination requirement.

A hold will be placed on the student’s records preventing class scheduling until proof of the vaccination has been supplied to the University Nurse. Click here for additional information about the bacterial meningitis vaccination requirement.

Other State Required Vaccinations

In addition to the Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Record, a complete Shot Record of all vaccinations received is also required.

Required immunizations include:
Bacterial Meningitis Vaccine/Meningococcal (MCV4,  MPSV4, Meningococcal A, Menactra, or Menveo) – A booster is required if initial dose was received before 16th birthday or more than 5 years ago.
