Those with incomplete records can come into compliance by providing further documentation or receiving missing immunizations within 30 days of the first day (calendar) of classes.
Failure to comply with the law will result in being dropped from class(es) and losing on-campus housing, if applicable. It often takes time to obtain records from other facilities and to complete requirements.

Students who wish to request a copy of their medical records, or wish to have immunizations records released to anyone other than another college or university, must sign a request (Authorization for Release of Medical Information) stating the reason for the request and what person/agency is to receive the information.

Please have your previous university send a copy of your immunizations directly to you and submit them to the immunization department. High school transcripts are not accepted unless verified by your doctor/clinic.
Thank you for your service.
Even though you may have received numerous vaccinations while in service, these records often do not include documentation of childhood immunizations. We would be happy to review any military records you have for compliance with the NC Immunization Law. Once reviewed, we can advise you of any missing immunizations. If you have traveled out of the United States (to a high risk area) in the past five years, you are required to have had a TB skin test within the past 12 months.
*Please combine childhood vaccine records and military records for review.
