Health Clearance, Vaccinations and Immunizations

Students participating in some healthcare programs will be required to provide verifiable documentation from a licensed healthcare provider demonstrating the student has been immunized against certain communicable diseases. A student shall also provide a statement from a licensed health care provider concerning the student’s physical and mental health. The student will be responsible for costs associated with all health clearance and immunization requirements, as such costs will not be covered in the student’s tuition or fees. Students in all nursing programs are required to obtain influenza vaccination annually. Failure to comply with the health clearance, vaccinations, and immunization policy by the required date may result in the student being dismissed from the program.
