  2. Clinical Standards form signed by BOTH applicant and physician. Clinical Standards must have been completed within the last 12 months.
  3. Immunizations records. Document immunizations on the Medical Examination/Physical form or verify immunity to the following diseases: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, Tetanus and Hep B.

Students need to retain copies of all medical record forms submitted for admission to the College. Once submitted all health documents become the property of the College and are not released or returned to students. Health documents are maintained in the Student Health Nurse's office and are not part of a student's academic record.
