Nursing students must maintain current immunizations and screenings for specific diseases to comply with our clinical partners’ requirements. Documentation must be provided to verify required immunizations or, in some cases, positive lab reports showing you have sufficient titers in your blood to protect you against specific diseases. Additional documentation must be provided throughout your program.
Full compliance with this process is required to register for courses during your first term and all subsequent terms.
Important note: Review the list below closely, including the timeframes in which immunization series must be started and completed. Starting the process too soon or too late could result in course registration delays.
Uploading your documentation
All students except those in the Pre-Nursing program must upload immunization documentation twice – once in myUTH to meet university requirements, and separately for Cizik School of Nursing. The school uses this documentation to communicate compliance with clinical facilities. Pre-Nursing students are only required to submit immunization documentation through myUTH.
- myUTH:You will have access to the myUTH Immunization Portal 48 hours after accepting your offer of admission. This data is maintained by UTHealth Student Health Services.
- School of Nursing documentation: Watch for an email from "Cizik School of Nursing <notifications.exxat.com>" to your UTHealth Houston email address approximately one week after accepting your offer of admission and releasing your IDM hold with instructions on how to access the EXXAT portal to submit your immunization documentation for the school.
The documentation collected via EXXAT is maintained by the Cizik School of Nursing Compliance team.
