Immunization and TB Compliance

*Enrollment in only online classes does not qualify you as a Distance Ed. student. As such, students whose classes are all online are still subject to the required immunization compliance. If you have a question or concern regarding your immunizations or immunization status please send a secure message to our immunization coordinator via the HealthPack Portal or call 919-513-4302. Thank you!
