• Proof of two MMR immunizations or titer 
• Positive Varicella titer; If negative, a booster immunization is required.

• Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (TDaP) Vaccine

*Hepatitis B immunizations may take up to 6 months to obtain the full adult series of immunizations as well as another month after the last immunization to have the titer completed. As defined by the CDC, adult immunization schedules refer to adults aged 19 years or older.

Students accepted into this BSN program in the College of Nursing are required to complete all requirements under Medical Documents Manager as listed on the Health Requirements Webpage at http://www.southalabama. edu/colleges/con/clinical/ healthrequirements.html.  All requirements should be completed no later than one month prior to the first day of classes for the professional component.  Students are not required to order a Castle Branch account until they have been accepted into the professional component.

More information on USA Housing's move-in can be found HERE. Prorated housing fees or an early arrival charge may apply if an early move-in is approved. If you desire to live in on-campus university housing, you are encouraged to apply for on-campus university housing as soon as possible and contact USA Housing to determine your move-in date options.
