 Proof of Immunization Compliance
(Louisiana R.S. 17:170 Schools of Higher Education)
Return this form to: LSUA Admissions Office
8100 Hwy 71 South
Alexandria, LA 71302-9121

To the Applicant:
Louisiana Law requires immunization against measles, mumps, rubella, and tetanus-diphtheria for all fist time LSUA students born
after 1956, and for re-entering students (born after 1956). You must either submit proof of immunization compliance or complete
the Exemption and Waiver (See next page).

Your immunization (shot) record may be found in your family records or in your medical file with your physician. You may also
want to check for records with your doctor or public health clinic. As a last resort, and if you are a graduating high school senior,
school personnel may be able to locate immunization records in your cumulative or health folder before your graduation. Shot rec-
ords, or reasonably authentic copies of records which indicate specific information such as your name, date of birth, and the dates
of the shots you had, should be acceptable documentation of the immunizations your received previously. Take these records with
you to your doctor or local public health clinic for an update of your immunization status, to have your Proof of Compliance form
signed and/or to interpret your old records in view of changes in health care standards since your early childhood. You must com-
plete immunization compliance before registration.
