Health Requirements

It is very important that students complete all the required health requirement as determined by the Illinois State Board of Education and the Illinois Department of Public Health. All required physical and immunization forms are due on the first day of school. As per DU Policy, students who do not meet physical exam and immunization requirements are subject to exclusion from school. Exclusion will not occur without prior notice.

Check with your child’s doctor or public health clinic. However, doctor’s offices and clinics may only keep immunization records for a few years. Check with your state’s health department.
