Please consult the Accepted Student Checklist for the full information on how to complete your drug screen.

You can get your drug screen at any of the sites listed in the original email you received from Application Station. You can get your drug screen at any LabCorp facility, provided that the facility conducts drug screens (some do not). Additional sites are available through the Application Station website by clicking on the “myTools” tab and use the “myCollectionSites” module. Alternatively, you can contact Certiphi Screening at (800) 803-7859 for additional drug collection clinic locations.

Everything is handled electronically so you don’t need to send anything to us, remember after providing your specimen to the lab, call into Certiphi (1-800-799-0945) to provide your specimen ID#.

All immunizations—with the exception of the Tdap/Td—require more than one vaccine and/or test.  If you have not completed the series of vaccines, you must have at least started them by the July 31 deadline.   For hepatitis B and varicella, blood tests are required as proof of immunity.  If you have completed the series for these two diseases, you should have these blood tests completed before the deadline.  See the Accepted Student Checklist for more information.

There are 3 types of screenings:  2-step TB skin test, IGRA blood test, and chest x-ray (with accompanying assessment by a healthcare provider).  See the Accepted Student Checklist to determine which test is appropriate for you.  The vast majority of students are able to have the 2-step TB skin test.

We accept either Tdap or Td, and your last vaccine must be within 10 years of your expected date of graduation.  See the Accepted Student Checklist for more information.

We cannot accept history of disease as proof of immunity. Please see the Accepted Student Checklist for more information.

To meet the hepatitis B requirement, you must show proof of immunity not just complete the shot series.  If you never had these vaccines or have not demonstrated proof of immunity via blood test, you should start the series before the deadline.  See the Accepted Student Checklist for more information.
