Tuberculosis Screening

TB Screening

Tuberculosis, also known as TB, is a bacterial infection that usually attacks the lungs, but can attack any part of the body. TB is spread through the air from one person to another. Find more information about TB through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention at: http://www.cdc.gov/tb/ 

Section 199.290 of the Missouri Revised Statutes requires that all institutions of higher education in Missouri implement a targeted tuberculosis (TB) testing program for all on-campus students.

In compliance and because we feel a responsibility to the health and well-being of our students and community, SCC has adopted the Tuberculosis (TB) Screening and Testing policy for students.
