International Students
All international students are required to have a test for Tuberculosis (TB) once they arrive in the United States. We require the QuantiFeron Gold TB or the T-Spot test. Test may be obtained at the IWU Health Center.
Students who do not comply with the Health and Immunization policy will not be allowed to register for the next semester, attend classes, or reside on campus the first day of that semester until required information has been submitted to the Health Center.
