Immunization Requirements

North Carolina and UNCSA require documentation of immunization. Failure to comply will result in administrative withdrawal from school and/or a delay in your registration.

All medical forms are reviewed and Health Services reserves the right to request tuberculosis skin tests or a physical exam if the medical history should indicate a community risk.

Immunizations information must be submitted to Health Services via the Online Student Health Portal (opens in new tab).

Acceptable records of your immunizations may be obtained from any of the following:

• High school records – These may contain some, but not all of your immunization information. Your immunization records do not transfer automatically. You must request a copy.
• Personal shot records – Must be verified by a doctor’s stamp or signature or by a clinic or health department stamp.
• Local health department
• Military records of WHO (World Health Organization documents) – These records may not contain all of the required immunizations.
• Previous college or university – Your immunization records do not transfer automatically. You must request a copy.
