Medical Requirements
You must complete the ALCI Immunization Form. Ask your doctor to complete the form before you come to the ALCI. Bring your documents with you.
Measles (Rubeola) & Rubella
You must provide proof of full immunization against measles (rubeola) and rubella. If you cannot prove that you have had the two immunization injections, you must get the injections during your first semester at the ALCI. The University Health Services Center gives these immunizations. You may also bring a lab result from your home country showing immunity to both rubella and rubeola.
Tuberculosis Skin Test
It is a very good idea to have proof that you are free from active tuberculosis (TB). You can do this by providing: 1) proof of a negative TB skin test within six months of arrival in the United States; or 2) a chest x-ray dated within the last six months. You must show proof that you are free from TB if you will transfer to a degree program at California State University San Marcos, or any other college or university.
Hepatitis B
If you are 18 or younger when you enter the ALCI, you must show proof that you are immunized for Hepatitis B (a three-vaccination process). If you do not have an official record of Hepatitis B immunization, you must arrange to begin the vaccinations during your first semester. The University Health Services Center provides this vaccination. You may also bring a lab result from your home country showing immunity to Hepatitis B.
If you have not completed these immunizations, you must receive them during your first semester at the ALCI. You may visit Student Health Services for information about how to receive these immunizations while you are an ALCI student.
