Important Notes

  • The June/December deadlines are only general deadlines – if you are unable to upload your immunizations by the general deadlines, you will need to complete this requirement by the 1st day of classes. 
  • Per North Carolina state law, YOU WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE UNIVERSITY 30 days after classes begin if immunization requirements have not been met.
  • Official immunization certificates (high school transcript, records from your medical provider, prior colleges/universities, state health departments, etc.) will be accepted in lieu of the UNC Immunization form.
  • Campus Health will not accept mailed/faxed/emailed records, all records must be uploaded through your ConnectCarolina To Do list item to complete the university requirement. Please note that you can only upload one PDF file to your ConnectCarolina account – please see instructions below for instructions on combining multiple files.
  • All immunization records are required to be submitted in English. If your immunization record is not in English, you MUST use the UNC Immunization Form and have your medical provider sign and date the form to verify all immunization dates.
  • TB Testing is REQUIRED for students from countries with an increased incidence of Tuberculosis (TB). TB testing is RECOMMENDED for students who have risk factors that increase their likelihood of exposure to tuberculosis (TB). More information about TB requirements can be found HERE
  • If you are unable to obtain immunizations you are lacking at your home medical office, you can make an appointment for all immunizations when you arrive on campus at Campus Health .

Garrett’s Law

Garrett’s law was enacted in 2004.  It mandates schools provide parents and guardians with information about meningococcal meningitis and influenza and the vaccines that protect against these diseases. The law was expanded in 2007 to mandate that information also be provided about human papillomavirus (HPV) and the vaccines available to protect against HPV.
