Mandatory TB Screening The UDM Wellness Center requires that a Tuberculosis skin test report (TB Questionnaire) be on file for all new international students and new incoming freshman students. A TB skin test or chest x-ray must be performed in the U.S. or Canada within 12 months of the student’s first semester on campus. Failure to complete and provide the TB Questionnaire, and to obtain screening, as needed, will result in a hold being placed on your student’s account and an inability to register for the next semester. Please make sure that your student signs and submits the TB Questionnaire by mailing it or dropping it off at the Wellness Center.
