Graduate School

Immunizations

One of the most important things you can do to get ready for Graduate School is to complete your immunization requirements and upload needed documentation to the My Health Space portal. 

Immunization Requirements

The University of South Carolina complies with federal health regulations requiring proof of immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella and a completed TB Screen Risk Form from all students.  Refer to the Student Health and Well Being's Immunization page and frequently asked questions page for more information about required immunizations and possible exemptions.

Failure to comply with immunization requirements early in your first semester will result in a registration hold that will remain until resolved. 

How do I submit proof of immunity? 

You will submit your immunizations information on MyHealthSpace under "Medical Clearances."  Step-by-step instructions with screenshots are provided on the  Submit Your Immunization Forms page  (scroll past the undergraduate orientation info).

All documents must be Translated into English by your professional health care provider.

Students who are coded in a fully online program will have a "Distributed Graduate Education" concentration showing in your my.sc.edu profile.  These students will automatically show in MyHealthSpace as being immunization compliant.   

Those who are participating in coursework at another location or are choosing to take only online classes will need to submit proof of immunization.

You can find a Distance Learner Immunization Exemption Form (Non-Degree students only), a Medical Condition Immunization Form and a Religious Immunization Exemption Form on MyHealthSpace under "Downloadable Forms."  Upload buttons are provided on the forms page.
