Immunization Requirements
The Oral Roberts University Student Health policy regarding immunization requirements for all full- and part-time students is in accord with that set forth by the state of Oklahoma. These requirements are as follows:
Full-time Immunization Requirements:
DTaP/DTP/DT/Td (dip/tet series) If the Td (tetanus) has not been taken within the last ten years, a booster is required. (5 doses) IPV/OPV (polio series) (4 doses) MMR Series (2 doses) TB Skin Test (PPD) May be taken within 1 year prior to enrollment. (If a student received BCG as a child, it may result in a “positive” TB reading. Positive readings will require a chest x-ray.) Meningococcal Vaccination Hepatitis B Series Varicella recommended—not required Full-time Students must also complete an ORU Medical Assessment Form
Part-time Requirements
Part-time students are required to provide immunization records for the MMR series, Heb B series, Meningococcal Vaccine and a TB skin test. If a part-time student is enrolled in any HPER class, an ORU Medical Assessment is required.
Physical Fitness
Every student is required to make satisfactory progress in health fitness. ORU wants its graduates to be intellectually alert, socially adept, spiritually alive and physically disciplined. For this reason, all full-time undergraduate students are required to enroll in and pass an HPER activity course each semester. (See the Health, Physical Education and Recreation [HPER] departmental policies listed in the University catalog for complete activity offerings and policies.) HPER requirements for graduate students vary based on the length of the degree program.
A student’s progress is evaluated each semester. Students not fulfilling ORU’s health fitness requirements during a given semester are placed on probation. Students are placed on probation for failing an HPER activity course or failing to enroll in a specific activity or class or classes as required by the HPER Department.
Students are removed from HPER probation when they meet necessary requirements established by the HPER Department. Students who are not removed from the probation list after one semester are suspended. Students on probation or under suspension from the University are not eligible to graduate from the University until they have permission from their respective dean.
