Getting Involved

• Mandatory Health History Form and Immunizations: You are required to complete several online forms and submit a medical/health history, proof of immunizations, COVID-19 vaccination, and influenza vaccination (received annually after August 1st). Additionally, all students are required to complete a TB risk screening; those who are identified through this screening as having spent significant time in a country with endemic tuberculosis will be required to complete a TB test. All information must be uploaded to the student health portal prior to arrival on campus. Learn more about immunization requirements.
