Immunizations and Health Insurance for International Students

Immunization Requirements

All new students are required to complete the Immunization Form.  No physical exam is required to attend North Central College. If the immunization information is not complete, a medical hold will be placed on your account two weeks after the first day of classes of your starting term. This means that you cannot add a class or register for the next semester.

Illinois State Law mandates that all students entering a post-secondary institution, born after 1956, must provide proof of immunizations.
