Incoming Freshman Health Requirements
Physicals and immunization records must be submitted to Health Services by September 15th. It is important to schedule an appointment with the student's primary care physician as soon as possible in order to meet the necessary deadline. If for some reason you are unable to schedule an appointment before that date, an appointment needs to be scheduled and in order to not get excluded we will need a doctor's note stating the appointment date and time.
*ALL Freshman Must have a completed State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination/*current* within the last calendar year*
(A Sports physical does not serve as a School physical, though a School physical may serve as a Sports physical)
