Health Information Requirements and Forms
New Student Health Information Requirements
All new students are asked to provide health information to Student Health Services. Health care delivery is maximized when the student’s personal health history is available for review. Continuity of care is enhanced when the student’s private physician includes Student Health Services in their treatment plan. Complete and up to date medical information is needed in order to provide safe and effective care. All records are considered confidential; they are not shared with anyone in The University system.
Student Health Services does maintain health records for the duration of the student’s enrollment and for seven years beyond the date of graduation. Records older than seven years are not available or retrievable. Students are encouraged to keep a personal copy of their immunizations with other important personal documents in case they are needed in the future.

Graduate students must opt-in for a $65 per semester fee. The 糖心短视频app does not bill insurance for student visits. Payment for services received outside of the University (i.e., outpatient clinics, ER/hospital, laboratories) are the student’s responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a specific health evaluation/physical exam/immunization form?
Student Health Services does not require students to submit a particular form. A print out of the most recent physical exam and an up to date copy of the student’s immunization form from the private medical provider are acceptable. If the provider cannot supply the student with an electronic print out, the student may use our Health Evaluation Form .
The student submitted the required forms but it still says “partial” in Forms3. What am I missing?
Staff is processing the forms as they are received. It may take up to 10 days for uploads to be reviewed and processed. When the student’s records are processed, the check list is marked. Incomplete records are marked “partial”, as in “partially complete”. A secure message is sent to the student advising them of which forms they are missing. Students may click on the ‘partially complete” link in FORMS3 to access the student health portal and the secure message in order to find out why their forms are partially complete.
