Vaccinations and TB Test

Vaccination requirements and tuberculosis test

All Indiana University students are required by state law to present proof of vaccination against various diseases. You should submit your compliance form before you begin classes. You will not be able to register for your second semester until you have done so.

All evidence you submit must be in English. If your documents need to be translated, IU has partnered with Luna Language Services to offer a convenient and affordable option.

Questions about vaccinations

If you have questions about state and university requirements for vaccinations, please contact the Office of the Registrar by email at immune@indiana.edu, by phone at 812-855-6500, option 3, or in person at 408 N. Union Street.

Information for students under the age of 18

If you will be under the age of 18 when you arrive on campus, your parent or guardian must complete a Consent for Medical Treatment of a Minor form in order to have your TB blood test.

If you receive any vaccinations at IU while on the IU health insurance plan, the cost will be covered.

Tuberculosis test requirement for international students

State law requires all international students to be tested by a U.S. doctor for tuberculosis (TB). We will try to make it as simple for you as possible.

You will need to have a TB blood test done at the Student Health Center shortly after your arrival. You will not be able to register for your second semester classes until you complete it. The test (which costs $65) and any additional follow-up testing can be billed to your bursar account. This cost can be reimbursed for students enrolled in the IU health insurance plan.

Please do not bring TB documentation from outside of the United States; it will not be accepted.

If you have had a TB test done in the United States, submit the information in the Immunization Compliance form in One.IU.

Students need to schedule their TB test as soon as possible after they arrive in Bloomington. You can schedule your appointment by following these steps:
