Louisiana Immunization Network for Kids Statewide (LINKS)
For your convenience, Íæż½ã½ã participates in LINKS. LINKS is a confidential computer system that keeps track of immunization history.
Communicating about Your Student's Health
In an emergency situation, University staff will use their professional judgment to determine if a family member (in most cases, a parent) should be informed of a medical situation.
Many times parents may ask if their student can sign a release to provide medical records, as needed. Unfortunately, we must decline that request as FERPA does not allow for such a waiver.
Health Supplies to Bring to College
- Common first-aid supplies such as Band-Aids, other bandage material, a thermometer
- Prescription insurance cards as well as a list of prescriptions they are taking. It also a good idea to have a list of any medications your student is allergic to.
- A current supply of any prescriptions your student is taking.
- Common over-the-counter medications such as aspirin, decongestant, upset stomach relief, etc.
- Photocopies of relevant medical records if they have an ongoing condition that requires treatment.
Is a physical exam needed prior to attending Íæż½ã½ã?
No. However, all new and transferring students must comply with the immunization policy to be admitted. Information on immunizations can be found on the page.
