Proof of immunization may be provided through the following options:

• Completed immunization records signed by health care provider
• Immunization record forwarded from high school, college, or university
• Copy of a local health department immunization record
• Immunization record maintained by the student or parent (cannot be a baby book record)

Immunization Exemptions

• Medical Necessity: Documentation from a medical provider that states the nature and probably duration of a medical condition or circumstance that contraindicates immunization(s).
• Personal Objection: A signed wavier stating an objection to the vaccination requirements.

Note: The Health and Immunization Exemption policy does not apply to majors requiring vaccinations. An exemption or objection may impact a student's ability to continue in that major.

In the event of an outbreak of any vaccine-preventable diseases covered by this policy on or near campus, students holding exemptions or objections will be temporarily excluded from all campus activities, classes, residence halls, or the campus of Indiana Wesleyan University at the discretion of the Medical Director and/or the Board of Health until the outbreak is declared to be over.

Makeup of any classes due to such absences is at the discretion of each professor.

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 Wildcat Health Clinic.

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 Wildcat Health Clinic.
