The Enrollment Services office manages immunization records. Any individual who has been exempted from the immunization requirements may be required to stay off campus, including exclusion from campus activities, in the event of an outbreak of a communicable disease until the danger is over. Tuberculin skin testing is required of new students from all countries except those classified by U.S. Health officials as "low risk for tuberculosis." Enrollment Services will contact Health Services either by phone or email to confirm that a newly enrolled international student will need a tuberculin skin test if he/she meets these qualifications. Health Services will contact that student and proceed with the screening. The testing needs to be done at the beginning of the first term before the student begins classes. Documentation of the testing will be kept in the Health Services office. Sponsor: VPSA Approved: March 2017 Revised: December 2017 Revised: Spring 2022
