Incoming Student Requirements
Incoming Student Requirements
1. IMMUNIZATIONS AND TB SCREENING
All incoming first-year undergraduate students for Fall 2025 are required to submit documentation of their required immunizations and TB screening by July 15, 2025. Any other student (transfer, returning, graduate) intending to live in campus housing must also make sure these items have been submitted prior to move-in. 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.
- Follow-up testing via tuberculin skin test, blood test (example: Quantiferon Gold), and/or x-ray may be required based on results of screening.
Two required Health Education Courses through Vector Solutions - AlcoholEdu for College and Sexual Assault Prevention for Undergraduates - will be sent to all incoming Fall 2025 undergraduate students via their SMC email. Both courses must be completed by August 15, 2025
