If you have been accepted into an Allied Health program for the current semester, you are required to complete a Health Clearance.
You may obtain your program’s specific Health Clearance requirements and needed documents from the Allied Health Department (located in Glacier Hall) or the Health Services offices.
In order to receive your health clearance (aka the “golden ticket”), you must have all required documents completed. You may choose to complete the requirements with your own physician or provider’s office, but please be sure to speak with a Health Services nurse to make sure you are on track. Upload all Health Clearance documents to your student Health Portal then contact Health Services to schedule a Health Clearance document review with our nurses. Only a Health Services nurse can provide the final “Golden Ticket” Health Clearance.
Health History and Physical
What is a Health Clearance?
It is a list of requirements set up by a specific academic program. Many of these requirements are in place to protect patients and staff from communicable diseases in health care settings.
Do I have to use the MJC Health Services office to obtain the items needed for my clearance?
The final Health Clearance document can only be obtained through the Health Services office. You may choose to go to your own health care provider to obtain any immunizations, screenings or TB clearances needed.
Do I make an appointment for my Health Clearance?
Yes, please contact the Health Services office to schedule an appointment for your health clearance. Upload your documents to the Health Portal in preparation for your review with the Health Services nurse.
How long will it take to receive my final clearance?
It can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to obtain all your items and receive your final clearance. We recommend starting your clearance process and uploading your documents as soon as possible.
What is the cost of immunizations, screenings or lab work?
Please refer to "Clinic Fees" above.
If you do not have your immunization record you may be able to retrieve a copy using the link below.

Can I get all my immunizations, screenings or lab work at once?
It depends on which immunizations and screenings you need. The nurse will review your immunization record to determine what you need and guide you through the clearance process.
Where can I have the lab work (titers) completed?
After obtaining a lab request from the Health Services office or your primary care provider, the lab work may be completed at any Quest Lab or lab indicated by your provider. Should your titers indicate that you lack immunity to a particular disease, you will be required to obtain a booster vaccine or the entire series of immunizations for that particular disease (depending on your specific immunization history)
