How do I take care of all of my 2019-2020 health requirements?<\/strong><\/h5>

Two (or three) easy steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Complete your TB Symptom Screen in Patient Connect<\/a>, under Messages, New Message, and choose the second selection for TB.<\/li>\n
  2. Two to three business days after completing Step 1, check your health compliance status with Student Health Services:\n
      \n
    1. Visit the compliance page in the Student Link<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. Find \u201cMedical Immunization Status\u201d under description.<\/li>\n
    3. Whether you see a Y or an N, click the link to see your full immunization record. The last section named \u201cCompliance\u201d will show you either what you are currently missing, or when you will go out of compliance. If that section shows you are in compliance until June 30, 2020, you are all set! If the compliance shows you will not remain in compliance until June 30, 2020, proceed to Step 3.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. If the “Compliance” column shows that you will not remain in compliance with all requirements until June 30, 2020, you are responsible for obtaining the necessary services by:\n
