Residents may be granted an exemption from one or more of the specified immunization requirements based on a documented medical recommendation or for religious reasons in accordance with university regulation. Those persons exempted from immunization or testing for a disease may be removed from student residence facilities should an outbreak of that disease occur or threaten to occur. To request a religious or medical exemption form, contact us.

A negative tuberculin skin test (PPD) within one year preceding registration, unless previously positive. If you have tested positive for tuberculosis, a negative chest x-ray and proof of completed treatment is required.


Meningococcal Disease

Applicants under the age of 21 must show evidence of vaccination against meningococcal disease with the meningococcal ACWY immunization.

Effective May 18, 2005, the State of Alaska requires that all post-secondary educational institutions must provide information about meningitis and meningitis vaccine to all students who intend to reside in campus housing and requires that students sign a form indicating that they have either been vaccinated against meningitis or have received information about meningitis.  See the text of law, including required information about meningitis below:

Sec. 14.48.165 of the Alaska Statutes reads as follows:

Immunization of postsecondary students

A postsecondary educational institution in this state shall provide written notice to each student who intends to reside in campus housing before the student’s initial period of residence that includes the following information:

Meningococcal disease

  • is a serious illness that can cause death within a few hours of onset; one in 10 cases is fatal, and one in seven survivors of the illness is left with severe disability;
  • is a contagious but also largely preventable infection of the spinal cord fluid and the fluid surrounding the brain;
  • Scientific evidence suggests that college students living in campus housing are at a moderately increased risk of contracting meningococcal disease; and
  • Immunization against meningococcal disease decreases the risk of contracting the illness

Housing placement begins in July (Fall Semester), December (Spring Semester), and April (Summer Semester) and is processed on a rolling basis as applications are submitted and completed, including submission of application fee, deposit, and immunizations. Residents will receive a notice that their placement has occurred via email. They can also check their placement at Student Housing Self Service.

Once a resident has received their placement, they should check the "Before You Arrive" page for information about sending mail, move-in locations, what to pack, and more.

Starting approximately one month before Move-In, each of the following forms and agreements will be available in Student Housing Self Service:

  • Move-In Agreement (Required for all residents)
  • Early Move-In Request 
  • Vehicle Registration Form
  • Bicycle Registration Form 
  • Animal Agreement (For students with approved ESA/Service animals)
