Ohio law section 3345.85 of the Revised Code requires that state of Ohio higher education institutions not permit a student to reside in on-campus housing unless the student (or parent if the student is younger than eighteen years of age) discloses whether the student has been vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B by submitting a meningitis and hepatitis B by accination status statement. In accordance with this requirement, it is the policy of the university of Akron that all students desiring to reside in on-campus housing shall complete a form indicating that they have vaccinations against meningococcal meningitis and hepatitis B by submitting a meningitis and hepatitis B vaccination status statement. Students shall be informed of this disclosure requirement at the time such students make application to reside in on-campus housing and they will be provided with a form that provides for such disclosure and vaccination as required by law. Any students that fail to provide such information will not be permitted to reside in on-campus housing.
