• ETSU requires entering students to provide proof of two vaccinations for mumps, measles, and rubella administered on or after the student's first birthday. Documentation is required before students begin coursework. Feel free to bring documentation to orientation. Exemption: Students who attended a Tennessee elementary or secondary public schools after July 1, 2001 are presumed to have both MMR doses and proof of immunization is not required.

• ETSU requires all entering students to print and sign the HepatitisB/Meningococcal History Waiver form. Send the form to:
  Student Health Services
  PO Box 70675
  Johnson City, TN 37614
  or fax it to (423)439-4560
  or take it to Room 160, Roy Nicks Hall
  Failure to complete this form prior to the first day of classes will result in an academic hold, which will prevent students from dropping/adding classes or registering for the following term.
• If you receive notification from the Office of Admissions or the University Advisement Center that you need assessment, follow those instructions. Students must make arrangements to complete this requirement prior to attending orientation. Without necessary testing you cannot register for classes. If you have questions about assessment, please call the University Advisement Center at (423) 439-5244. If you wish to sign up for a test date, please contact the University Testing Center at (423) 439-7842.
  ACT or SAT scores less than three years old will be used to determine placement in Developmental Studies Program (DSP) courses. Students who are 21 or older, who do not have ACT or SAT scores less than three years old, are required to take the COMPASS test.
  Following a review of transfer credit, the COMPASS test may be required. Students with high school deficiencies are required to take the COMPASS test in appropriate areas.
