Immunization and Tuberculosis Screening Requirements

Marquette University requires all newly admitted and readmitted undergraduate, graduate and professional students to complete the Immunization History and Tuberculosis Risk Questionnaire on the MU Medical Clinic patient portal. Marquette University requires proof of immunization, laboratory proof of immunity or disease incidence for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella. Additionally, Marquette University requires proof of immunization for Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis. Students also complete a questionnaire based on three major risk factors for exposure to tuberculosis (TB) that have been identified in epidemiological studies. Completion of the required health forms must be done prior to or within 30 days after the start of a student’s first term at Marquette.

Directions on how to access the Marquette University Medical Clinic patient portal to complete these forms are found in CheckMarq under the Next Step Forms tile. Directions can also be found on the Marquette University Medical Clinic website.

Failure to complete the required immunization and TB screening questionnaire within 30 days of the start of the student’s first term or the readmitted term at Marquette results in the placement of a registration hold on future registrations. The hold is removed once the immunization and screening requirements have been met. Health Sciences, Nursing and Dental students may be required by their departments or colleges to receive additional immunizations. Contact the department or college for specific requirements.
