Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination RequirementDuring the last Texas legislative session, Texas Senate Bill 1107 (SB 1107) was passed and signed into law by Texas State Governor Rick Perry. Effective January 1, 2012, SB 1107 requires all students (under age 30) entering an institution of higher education (public and private) to either receive a vaccination against bacterial meningitis or meet certain criteria for declining such a vaccination before the first day of the semester.

ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ will be closed Monday, Sept. 3 for the Labor Day holiday. We will resume our regular schedule and business hours on Tuesday. In case of an emergency on campus during the closure, please contact security at 903-563-1417.

We hope you have a safe, fun weekend!

Our Fall 2018 semester is kicking off this week at Northeast.  It’s hard to believe that fall season is just around the corner and the pumpkin spice ‘everything’ will soon start lining the shelves, especially with 100 degree temperatures still with us.

For the safety and security of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, all students, faculty and staff are required to display a parking permit on their vehicle while on campus. Security officers will enforce this by issuing warnings beginning September 4. Citations with fines will follow the warning period.

Parking permits are FREE. Student permits are issued in the Student Services building and employees can pick them up from the Human Resources department.

Thank you for helping us keep our campus safe for everyone!
