*Refer to form for instructions on how to submit.
All University of Minnesota students (with the exception of students enrolled in an Academic Health Center program) must complete the Student Immunization Form at the start of their college career. There are two ways to complete and submit your record:
Forms are held by Boynton Health Service. Students who do not submit this form will have a hold placed on their account preventing them from registering for classes until the form is submitted.
According to Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, and Academic Health Center (AHC) policy, all students (including international students) enrolled in AHC colleges are required to have a health clearance as a condition of enrollment. Please note: AHC Student Immunization requirements do not apply to Veterinary Medicine students.
The following information must be completed to register for classes in the AHC:

Walk-in Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) Clinics for AHC students are held at the CHIP Student Lounge, 1-425 Moos Tower (downstairs from Java City) on a regular schedule (see right column). Note that this clinic is open to Academic Health Center Students only.
If you are enrolled in the AHC Student Health Benefit Plan, the cost of this service will be covered by the plan. If you have private health insurance and pay the University of Minnesota Student Services Fee, your health insurance will be billed first and the Student Services Fee will cover any charges not paid by your health insurance.
If you have private health insurance and do not pay the University of Minnesota Student Services Fee, your health insurance will be billed and you will be responsible for charges not covered by your health insurance.
Enrolled AHC students may view detailed information about their immunizations through the “Health and Wellness” tab of the myU portal.
International students admitted to an Academic Health Center (AHC) program should follow the AHC immunization guidelines above.
The University of Minnesota requires non-AHC international students to obtain the following immunizations. We encourage you to obtain your immunizations before leaving your home country.

Currently, there are no walk-in screening clinics.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that is present in one-third of the world‘s population. Tuberculosis infection may lead to tuberculosis disease, which can cause significant illness and even death.
Only those students enrolled in the AHC are required to undergo TB screening. However, Boynton Health Service offers voluntary TB risk assessment, screening and treatment for all international students. If you have concerns about your risk for developing TB and would like to be tested, please call the Boynton Appointment Line at (612) 625-3222. Identify yourself as an international student wanting to be screened for TB. You will meet with a nurse who will discuss your risks with you and determine the need for testing.
Boynton Health Service provides immunization services. Boynton also provides international travel immunizations.
Having trouble locating your records? If you’ve already checked your personal records (you may have received a reference card or a similar document signed by your doctor when you received each immunization), check with your high school. Some high schools retain immunization information with student records.
Another option would be to find out if your immunization records are in the Minnesota immunization registry—Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC)—by calling the MIIC Help Desk at (651) 201-5503 or 800-657-3970. MIIC includes a record of immunizations given at numerous participating clinics in Minnesota.
In some cases, it may be helpful to check with your health care provider, but most clinics only retain immunization records for six years.
If you are unable to locate your immunization records, we recommend you visit your care provider to either obtain the required immunizations or get tested to demonstrate that you have immunity to the diseases in question.
All clinics are held at the CHIP Student Lounge,
1-425 Moos Tower (downstairs from Java City).
