Vaccinations 

As a non-residential commuter college, Midlands Technical College does not require vaccinations as a criteria for admission and enrollment of all students; however, immunizations are required for most college health programs and for students applying to the Gamecock Gateway residential program, in coordination with the University of South Carolina. If you are a Gamecock Gateway student, you will be provided with specific vaccination requirements by the University of South Carolina as part of your housing application. If you are admitted to a health program at Midlands Technical College, you will be provided specific vaccination information as part of the health program orientation and enrollment process.  Vaccinations must be complete prior to starting clinical practice. Specific information can be obtained from the health program to which you are applying.

Midlands Technical College supports positive student health and encourages you to keep your immunizations current. We encourage you to read and adhere to health information distributed by the college for meningococcal meningitis, influenza, Ebola, and other health issues that could affect you and other members of the college community.
