Resources/Information
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a highly infectious, potentially life-threatening disease. Because of the increase in TB worldwide, in response to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations regarding strategies for TB control, and based upon KAR 28-1-30, KAR 281-31, KSA 65-129e and KSA 65-129f, Manhattan Area Technical College (MATC) has implemented the following prevention and testing requirements and recommendations for the public health and safety of its community.

If "YES" to Any Screening Questions
If you answer "Yes" to any of the TB screening questions, you must provide documentation of testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider before enrolling in classes at Manhattan Tech.
- You will be required to undergo a Tuberculosis skin OR blood test*. (Documentation of a negative TB test obtained in the United States in the past year will be accepted by Manhattan Tech.
