Starting Fall 2017,  per University of California Immunization Requirements & Recommendations, (also available in Chinese 中文 HERE) all incoming students are required to complete a Tuberculosis (TB) Screening Questionnaire, students with a high risk for tuberculosis must also provide documentation of tuberculosis testing. Students must also provide documentation of vaccination or immunity to certain infectious diseases. We strongly encourage you to have your immunizations up-to-date before you arrive at UCSB.

Completion of the Tuberculosis (TB) Screening Questionnaire and Required Immunization Records should be done by September 1st. The forms may be submitted even if some dates are unknown; the TB Screening Questionnaire must be completed before arrival on campus. Failure to complete these 2 requirements may result in delays with your class registration. If you have difficulty obtaining the testing or immunizations before arrival on campus, please contact us at SHSEntranceImmunizations@sa.ucsb.edu or call 805-893-2525. We will have special immunization clinics the first 2 weeks after Fall quarter begins for those unable to complete the requirements prior to arrival.

You will not receive a confirmation but the immunization documents will be incorporated into your permanent electronic medical record. 

On your correspondence, please include your:

• full name
• date of birth
• perm number

For questions or problems you may encounter completing the University Immunization Requirements, please email  SHSEntranceImmunizations@sa.ucsb.edu or call 805-893-2525.
If you have difficulty uploading your records you may also fax them to 805-893-3593 or upload them directly through the Gateway (log in and choose “Immunization Status” in the left column menu).

The University of California is committed to protecting the health and well-being of our students, staff and faculty. Therefore, all of the UC campuses are implementing procedures to ensure that students are educated about and receive immunizations to protect themselves and others from preventable and serious contagious diseases (see UC Immunization Policy & FAQ).
