State law requires students in specific programs to complete a Criminal/Caregiver Background Check to fully complete program requirements. Students may also be required to provide documentation of immunizations and vaccinations prior to beginning clinical classes at hospitals, medical clinics, and nursing homes.

Western Technical College uses ViewPoint as an online vendor for students to complete the Background Check and upload Health Records documentation.

Students living in Western’s Residence Hall may have additional immunization or vaccination requirements. The Student Life Office will provide additional information to students planning to live on campus.

Western’s Student Athletes may also have additional immunization or vaccination requirements.
