It is vital that students provide the university with an accurate health record. As a prerequisite to Term Start, all new full- and part-time students (excluding non-culinary continuing education students and students taking classes exclusively online) must submit proof of a complete physical exam conducted within the last year, including documented proof of:
In addition, a negative tuberculosis test or chest X-ray within the last year is required for entering students who are from highly endemic countries and have been residents of the United States for less than five years. A list of countries where tuberculosis is highly endemic is available upon request from Health Services.
Meningitis is a serious bacterial illness involving an infection of the covering of the brain and the spinal cord. It can also cause blood infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 10 to 15 percent of individuals with meningococcal disease die, in spite of treatment with antibiotics.
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has issued the following recommendations regarding the use of vaccines for college students:
“College freshmen living in dorms are recommended to be vaccinated with meningococcal conjugate vaccine. If they received this vaccine before their 16th birthday, they should get a booster dose before going to college for maximum protection. . . . The risk for meningococcal disease among non-freshmen college students is similar to that for the general population. However, the vaccine is safe and effective and therefore can be provided to non-freshmen.”
For further information regarding meningitis and the meningococcal vaccine, including vaccine safety information, refer to the CDC .
The hepatitis A vaccine is strongly recommended but not required. Please note that further immunization requirements apply to students enrolled in the Physician Assistant Program.
All medical information is confidential and will not be released by Health Services without the student's written consent, except as otherwise provided by law.
Failure to satisfy this requirement will result in the placement of a Health Services Hold on the students' account and will prohibit students from entering class or changing their schedule.
