All new incoming UCI students must complete a TB Screen Risk Form. This form can be found in the Student Health Portal under Medical Clearances. After answering the TB Screen Risk Form, review Medical Clearances for additional requirements added based on your responses.
Based on your response to the TB Screen Risk Form, you may need to complete several additional requirements.
- Tuberculosis Testing: You can complete this requirement by uploading results for one TB skin test or one TB blood test (T-spot or Quantiferon Gold) performed within one year of the first date of instruction. A chest x-ray will not fulfill your TB test requirement. If needed, schedule an appointment for TB blood testing through your Student Health Portal. Do not upload results for lab testing performed at the Student Health Center. Your records will automatically be updated once results return.
- TB Clearance Assessment & TB Nurse Review: These requirements can be completed by uploading a completed TB Health Assessment Form. The TB Health Assessment form is to be completed by your primary care provider. If completing Section B, your provider must complete all 4 sections. Don't forget to upload a radiology report for a chest x-ray performed within one year of the first date of instruction. Allow 3 to 5 business days for a nurse to review your form.
Students who do not show risk factors for TB as indicated by their responses on the High-Risk TB Screening Questionnaire are not required to complete/submit a TB Health Assessment Form to the Student Health Center.
However, if your responses on the High-Risk TB Screening Questionnaire show you to be at higher risk, you will need to have further testing completed by your Primary Care Provider or other licensed healthcare provider.
- Download the TB Health Assessment Form and take it to your Primary Care Provider or other licensed healthcare provider who is unrelated to you.
- Once any additional TB testing is complete and your physician or other licensed healthcare provider has determined that you are free of active TB, your provider must Complete and Sign the form.
- Log on to the secure Student Health Patient Portal and upload the Completed and Signed TB Health Assessment Form for submission to SHC.
