Health Records for New Students
All new students must submit their Health Records via our Patient Portal. Records must include:
- Meningitis vaccine (MenACWY-Meningococcal conjugate)*
- COVID-19 vaccine**
- TB test result (completed within the past 12 months)
- immunization records
*Meningitis vaccine is not required for students 22 years of age or older by the first day of the start of the semester. MenB is also recommended but not required. Affidavit exemption request: https://co-request.dshs.texas.gov/
**You are considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks (14 days) after your dose of an accepted single-dose vaccine OR 2 weeks (14 days) after your second dose of an accepted 2-dose series. Boosters are recommended but not required at this time. Notarized exemption request: https://www.southwestern.edu/live/files/9620-comvaccineexempt2021p1pdf
COVID-19 Vaccinations
COVID-19 vaccinations are required for all students prior to their arrival on campus. Exceptions may be made for those who qualify for an exemption.
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) may cause false negative TB test results. If you are getting your COVID-19 vaccine this summer, be sure to get your TB test before or on the same day as your first dose of the vaccine, or wait 4 weeks after the second vaccine dose to get your TB test. The COVID-19 vaccine takes priority, so if you are not able to get your TB test before you arrive on campus, we will perform your TB test at the SU Health Center when you are eligible.
