HEPATITIS B
All entering Frosh under 19 years old are required by the State of California to be immunized against Hepatitis B prior to their enrollment. Students needing Hepatitis B immunization should begin this three shot series right away with their local health care provider.

If you fall into this group, you will be sent information during the summer explaining this law and need to fill out the on-line Hepatitis B Status Statement to expedite the process of documenting compliance. Minimally, students must provide documentation they have received the first injection of the series before the first day of instruction. Immunization may be waived on principle of personal beliefs, but the form must still be completed and submitted by the required date. If this proof is not provided by the first day of instruction Fall Quarter, a student may be dropped from her/his classes.
