Provide Proof of Immunizations
In accordance with North Carolina state public health law, you must provide the Student Health Center with proof of your immunizations.

It will cost $150 to re-enroll.  If you have questions about this requirement, please review our Immunization Compliance Policy for further details.

Tracking down evidence of your immunizations can be challenging.

Many students find it easier to gather their own records, because it saves them doctor’s office visits and associated fees. Some students are short a shot or two, and will have to visit their doctors for shots anyway. If you are missing shots, please enter the dates that you do have on the HealthWeb form as described above, print the form, and bring it with you to the doctor. Your doctor can then update the dates for your missing shots, date, sign, and stamp your form, and forward the hard copy to the Student Health Center Immunization Compliance office.

If you have no records at all, you’ll need to visit your healthcare provider to receive the required immunizations. Have your doctor provide you with a complete record that shows the date of your immunizations, enter the dates into the HealthWeb form as described above, and mail, fax, or hand-deliver a paper copy of the complete record to the Student Health Center Immunization Compliance Office.

Tuberculosis Screening (International Students and non-U.S. citizens only)
If you are either an international student or a non-U.S. citizen, you must have a tuberculin (PPD) test administered by a NCSU acceptable medical facility within the 12 months preceding the first day of classes. PPD readings must be stated in MM induration.

We do not accept the results of PPD tests or chest x-rays completed in medical facilities outside the United States. You may wait and have these test(s) done after you arrive at NC State University. Student Health Services can perform a blood test to detect Tb bacteria infection. The test is called T-SPOT.Tb test. If you receive this test at the Student Health Center, and you receive health insurance coverage under the University-sponsored Health Insurance Plan, your health insurance policy will cover the cost of the test. If you would like to have this test done instead of a PPD, please call 919-515-2563 to make an appointment once you are on campus.

Complete the Parental Consent for Treatment Form (Students under the age of 18 only)
If you are under the age of 18, your parent or guardian should download and complete the Parental Consent for Treatment Form. You may then mail, fax or hand-deliver the form to the Student Health Center.
