Immunizations

Required immunizations

Each student must have a completed immunization record on file with the Student Health Center in accordance with the University Immunization Compliance Policy. Documentation of immunization compliance requirements is due by Aug 1 for fall and January 2 for spring.

*The required records MUST BE scanned and uploaded through the Patient Portal. Our system is all electronic. NO mailed, fax or email copies of immunization records are accepted.*

Please allow at least 72 hours during regular business hours after uploading your record for the health center staff to review. You may review the status through the Patient Portal.

Health holds are placed on student records with missing or incomplete documentation. Students will not be able to register for classes until the required health information is complete. Students must login to the Patient Portal to check Medical Clearance status. If status is satisfied, the student is compliant with the health requirements. If the status is not satisfied, the student has an unmet requirement that needs to be completed.
