Health Forms
Different students have different requirements for which health forms need to be submitted. To help avoid confusion forms are organized according to student status. All forms are available as PDF files to be downloaded from the appropriate page. Click on the links below for forms and more information about medical records requirements.
Where can a student get these immunizations if he/she has no proof?
If a student needs to be re-immunized because of age or inability to locate his/her record, there are many locations and clinics to obtain vaccinations, some at a reduced rate. Tuberculosis testing, seasonal flu vaccinations and physical exams are by appointment only.
