Proof of Required Immunizations
All students must enter their immunizations in the "Medical Clearances" portion of myhealthspace and click on "Immunizations Record" and attach supporting documentation signed by a medical provider before orientation.
Transfer students must request immunizations from their current college or university and upload official documentation into your myhealthspace account. Student Health Services cannot access immunization records from other campuses, including those within the USC system.
(Note: You can take a photo of your documentation with your phone and upload the photo). Please also enter your immunization dates and vaccine types in the "Medical Clearances" portion for each vaccine received.
You will not be able to register for classes until we have your required immunizations on file.
