Cal Poly is committed to supporting the health and wellness of our students, campus, and community.
The immunization requirements and tuberculosis screening reflect recommendations by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and the American College Health Association (ACHA).
New enrollees ages 18 and younger are required to provide proof of Hepatitis B immunization per Executive Order 803 and California law (HSC sections 120390-120390-7).
Per university policy, additional immunization requirements and tuberculosis (TB) risk assessment are required for:
-
Students living in campus housing
-
Participating in intercollegiate athletics
-
Traveling internationally
If you are not participating in any of the above items, we highly recommend you still complete the recommended immunizations to help keep our campus community safe.
These requirements can be satisfied by providing immunization records or titers (proof of immunity to disease). A student may file an exemption from any immunization requirement by completing a Medical Exemption Form or Religious Waiver.
For students who plan to complete immunizations, we encourage you to start this process early as some immunizations require a series of doses. Please refer to the immunization and screening requirement sections below for additional information.
If you are age 18 and younger, Hepatitis B immunization is required.**
Per university policy, if you are living in campus housing, participating in intercollegiate athletics, or traveling internationally, 5 additional immunizations are required (see below).*
Please discuss details with your medical provider and complete any outstanding immunizations or titers as soon as possible. Submit immunization records through the Health and Counseling Portal using the document upload tab. All medical record submissions need to include the patient's full name and date of birth, and name of licensed medical facility or provider.
Complete the Tuberculosis Risk Assessment, which can be accessed via the Health and Counseling Portal. This portal is located within your Cal Poly login portal. Once you are in the portal, click on My Forms at the top of the page, and scroll down to the Tuberculosis Risk Assessment Form.
Upon completion of this form, you will receive further instructions. Based on your responses, you may be asked to complete a TB test with your medical provider and submit documents.
These additional immunizations are not required, but highly recommended for students to keep our campus and community safe. If these are completed, you may also submit documents via the Health and Counseling Portal. Please note that medical record submissions need to include the patient's full name and date of birth, and name of licensed medical facility or provider.
The following vaccinations are available at the Health Center with a scheduled appointment.
Please note: there may be additional costs associated with some of the vaccinations listed below. Pricing is also subject to change. To make an appointment, inquire about vaccination costs and more, please call (805) 756-1211.

Students have the option to provide a Medical Exemption Form or Religious/Personal Belief Exemption in lieu of immunizations records to satisfy the requirement. Completed forms can be scanned and uploaded through the Health and Counseling Portal.
If you are having difficulty accessing the student portal or uploading documents, you may also submit documents via fax or mail.
