New Mexico Highlands University Vaccination Policy
Immunizations are not required for admission to New Mexico Highlands University, however, they are recommended. The meningitis vaccine (Menectra) is strongly recommended for first-time students who will be living in the campus residence halls. Two doses of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine and the Varicella (chickenpox) is needed to protect students from these very contagious diseases. We also recommend an annual influenza vaccine.

Voter Registration: New Mexico Residents
Information on voting in local, state, and federal elections, and the New Mexico Voter registration form can be found at the New Mexico Secretary of State website.

Other U.S. Residents
If your state of residence is something other than New Mexico, you can either visit your home state’s Secretary website or the U.S. Election Assistance Commission website for voter registration forms and information.
