Immunizations Information for All Incoming Students
 
North Carolina state law (General Statute 130A-155.1) requires anyone entering college to present a certificate of immunization that documents their compliance with all required immunizations (see specific immunization requirements and exemptions to the law below).  

NOTE: Only proof of immunizations is required; it is no longer necessary to submit a medical history form in addition.

Immunizations information may be submitted to the UNC Charlotte Student Health Center in one of four ways:

1. Print a copy of the Immunizations Form and submit to a physician to complete and sign;

2. If you have a copy of your immunization records that is stamped or signed by the administering physician/health agency and includes dates on which immunizations were administered, you can simply submit a copy of these records.  Please include your name, student identification number (social security number) and date of birth on all pages submitted;

3. If immunizations information is included on high school or other transcripts, request from that school that a copy of the transcripts be sent to the UNC Charlotte Student Health Center.  NOTE: Because transcripts contain academic information, a copy of your transcripts is not sent to the health center by the UNC Charlotte Admissions Office;

Transfers:
If you have attended another college or university that also required immunizations, contact the former university's health center to request that a copy of your records (if still on file) be mailed to the UNC Charlotte Student Health Center.
