Incoming Student Requirements

There are 3 health-related requirements for all incoming undergraduates: 

1. IMMUNIZATIONS AND TB SCREENING

All incoming undergraduate students for Spring 2024 are required to submit documentation of their required immunizations and TB screening by August 1, 2024. Failure to do so may hinder your move-in to residential housing and may block your enrollment in classes for the following semester.

Requiring immunizations and health screenings helps avoid the spread of preventable disease/illness throughout the campus community and helps ensure that students are protected in case of an outbreak on campus.

Documents of these immunizations must be uploaded to Med+Proctor, a third-party immunization verification service. Detailed instructions can be found here

Tuberculosis (TB) Screening/Testing Form:

  • Student must complete this screening form through Med & Proctor. You will complete this prior to uploading your immunization records.
