Immunization Requirements

 

You can check you status by logging into MyInfo  (http://www.montana.edu/students/). Directions for setting up your account information can be found on this admissions orientation page. 

Information on holds on your account will be found on the Student Records page under the Student Services tab.

An Initial Immunization hold indicates that something is missing or did not meet the requirements for the immunization documentation. A Tuberculosis Screening hold means that our office has not received your TB screening form or that there is another step or more information is required.

If neither hold is listed, your documentation has met the requirements. Please contact our office with questions.

-OR-

You can check your immunization status by calling our office at 406-994-2311. A staff member will be happy to review your account with you.

Immunization records and registration holds have to be processed by a staff member, so you may continue to see a registration hold after you’ve submitted your documentation. Please allow some time for our staff to process your records.

Immunization records are usually processed within 48 business hours. But this time frame does vary depending on the volume of incoming records. 

Please call our office with any concerns or to check your status at 406-994-2311.

MSU only requires documentation of two MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations and the Tuberculosis Screening Form. 

However, we recommend discussing your vaccination history and which shots you may need to update with your primary care provider. 

You can get the MMR vaccination at the SHP-Medical Services clinic or at a doctor's office, county health department, or pharmacy of your choice. 

We encourage you to call around for pricing and contact your insurance company to check the  locations at which they will cover the cost. 

Please complete and read the Tuberculosis Screening form carefully. You may not need a TB skin test.

If you do need to complete the TB skin test, also called a PPD skin test, you can get the test done at the SHP-Medical Services clinic or at a doctor's office, or county health department of your choice.If you use an outside clinic, please have that office send us the documentation of your TB test including injection date, read date, and result in millimeters.

We encourage you to call around for pricing and contact your insurance company to check the  locations at which they will cover the cost if it is covered by your insurance plan.

If you have another form of official documentation (please see the list of examples) and are submitting that to our office, you do not need to complete the SHP Immunization Form.

If you are submitting the SHP Immunization Form as your documentation of two MMR vaccinations, it must be signed by a doctor, nurse, physician's assistant, family nurse practitioner, or other health care provider. It will also need their clinic stamp.
