Consider & Organise

Is there anything else I should think about and organise?

• Accommodation - the Accommodation Office can help you if you are moving to Glasgow.
• Childcare - find out about finding and funding childcare.
• Disability - tell our Disability Service about any disabilities, including dyslexia, or specific needs you may have so we can make arrangements for you.

Are you protected against mumps? Have you had your MMR jabs?

There is a continuing nationwide outbreak of mumps, due to the fact that a number of young adults are not protected against it. Students are likely to be at greater risk than their peers because university attendance is likely to facilitate transmssion. It's good practice for all students to be fully immunised according to the NHS immunisation schedule. Therefore we ask that before arrival at Caledonian you check your vaccination status. You should be up to date with vaccination against

• tetanus
• polio
• diphteria
• meningitis C
• measles
• mumps
• rubella.

Check NHS direct for more information about illnesses, vaccinations and MMR jabs. You can also read a Guardian article (July 2005): University students told to get MMR jabs.
