Are there specific health forms or immunizations that Ithaca College requires from transfer students? I'm trying to make sure all my paperwork is in order before I apply.
Transfer students to Ithaca College, like all new incoming students, are required to complete the College's health requirements. These requirements are designed to ensure the health and safety of all students as well as comply with applicable public health laws.
Key health requirements you will need to meet include:
1. Immunization Records: The State of New York requires specific immunizations for all students, including transfer students. The Hepatitis B vaccine, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine, and Meningitis vaccine (ACWY) are some of the immunizations typically required.
2. Health History Form: This form provides the College's health services with an overview of your general health, past medical history, and immunization records.
3. Physical Examination Form: A physical examination completed by a healthcare provider within the last 12 months is typically required. This form is also used to verify some of the immunizations noted above.
4. Tuberculosis Screening: A tuberculosis (TB) screening test might be required if you're coming from a high-risk country or have been in close contact with a person who has active TB.
Remember to keep copies of all your submission for your records. Be sure to submit these materials well in advance of your term start date because it could take some time for Health Services to process them. Keep in mind that failure to comply with these requirements may result in implications like hold on your registration. Double-check Ithaca College’s health services website or contact the health services directly to obtain an accurate list of health requirements for transfer students.
