Home » About UH Hilo » Other Policies » Medical Clearance

In accordance with Hawaii State law, all newly enrolled students must submit the following:

1. A completed Health History Form (mailed from the Admissions Office with the student’s acceptance letter or available at hilo.hawaii.edu/studentaffairs/health/healthhistory.pdf);
2. Results of a tuberculin skin test (PPD) or chest x-ray performed not more than 12 months prior to enrollment date (note: tuberculin tests and chest x-rays performed in foreign countries are not acceptable for clearance);
3. If born after 1956, proof of immunity to measles (rubeola), mumps, and rubella (MMR).

These requirements must be met before the start of classes. Tuberculin skin tests (for all students) and MMR vaccinations (for uninsured students only) are available at the Medical Services on campus for a small fee.
