As a part of the mandatory Vaccination Requirement, international students who arrive in Columbus and will take in-person classes at Ohio State must complete Tuberculosis (TB) testing to eliminate the possibility of active infections on campus. This is required of all new international students, any returning international student after spending one semester or more in their home country or abroad, and any international student switching from an undergraduate degree program to a graduate-level program.
To protect you and other students during the COVID-19 pandemic, Student Life Student Health Services will NOT be hosting in-person health screens this year to assist with the Tuberculosis test requirement. It is highly recommended that all international students complete their Tuberculosis test before their arrival to the university.
You will be receiving a secure message from Student Life Student Health Services via My BuckMD web portal in the next few weeks with information on how to complete and submit the Tuberculosis test for the university requirement. Please read this message and complete any associated electronic forms as soon as possible to avoid having an academic hold placed on your BuckeyeLink account, which will prevent you from scheduling classes, viewing your grades, or receiving your transcripts.
Contact [email protected] with any questions.
