You will return to the Medical Clearances menu. A green Success banner will appear at the top of the screen, indicating that you completed the step successfully. You should see a note saying Awaiting Review in the Details column of the clearance item you previously selected.
Step 7
Next, you must upload a proof of immunization document for that vaccine from your health care provider. To do this, click the green Update button next to the Immunization Records clearance item.
Step 8
A pop-up window titled Immunization Record will appear. Click the green Upload button. When the file selection window appears, select the appropriate proof of immunization file that you received from your health care provider.
Step 9
A second pop-up window titled Verify Upload will appear. Review the preview of the immunization form you just selected. If it is the correct form, click the green Looks Good button.
Step 10
The Immunization Record pop-up window will reappear. Click the blue Save button.
Step 11
If the form was successfully submitted, you will be sent back to the Medical Clearances for New Student menu. A green Success! banner will appear at the top of the window.
Note: Repeat steps 4 through 11 for each required clearance item. Then, proceed to step 12 below.

After uploading all your immunization forms, you must then complete a tuberculosis risk screening. On the Medical Clearances for New Student page, scroll down and click the green Update button for the TB Screen - Risk Form menu item.
Step 13

A Final Note:
When finished, each clearance menu item you complete will still say Not Compliant in the clearance item's Status column. Do not worry. You should see a note saying Awaiting Review next to the Not Compliant status column.
