If you answer yes to any of the questions on the TB risk screening form (found on the Student Health Portal) the student must have further testing completed. A PPD skin test or QuantiFERON Gold blood test completed within the last six months is required. This can be done at the health center.

If the TB testing is positive, they need to obtain a chest x-ray or provide documentation of a chest x-ray taken within the past 6 months.

All students born outside of the United States are required to complete TB testing. Testing must be completed within six months prior to arrival on campus. For students who have not completed testing before arrival, free TB testing is available through Student Health Services during the first two weeks of the semester.

• MMR titers: A titer is a blood test that can prove immunity to disease. If you cannot find records of your MMR vaccines, your medical provider can perform titers to verify positive immunity.

If the titers show that you are not immune, then you will need to get the MMR vaccine.
