Medical Requirements for All Incoming Students (Vaccination Policy)

ALL undergraduate and graduate students are required to upload to their Student Health Portal:

  • Immunization record, which must include documentation of 2 MMR (measles,
    mumps, and rubella) vaccinations.
  • Meningitis vaccination or a completed waiver.

In the portal, students must fill out and complete:

  • Student Health History form (to be filled out in the Portal)
  • Authorization for Treatment form (to be filled out in the Portal) *If the student is under 18 years of age, the Authorization for Treatment form must be signed by a parent or guardian.

*All documents must be submitted by August 1st for the Fall semester.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 

All information must be submitted prior to your enrollment at Marywood. Students who fail to provide this information may not utilize Student Health Services, registration for classes may be delayed, and campus housing may be denied.

Returning students do NOT need to resubmit medical documentation unless they did not upload them their freshman year.

ALL students living in the residence halls must upload by AUGUST 1:

  • Immunization record showing documentation of 2 MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccinations.
  • Meningitis vaccine (meningococcal serogroups A,C,W,Y and B) or waiver as required by PA law.
  • A physical exam completed within one year of enrollment date.
  • We recommend uploading a copy of your insurance card.

In accordance with Pennsylvania state law, students living in campus housing must provide proof of meningitis vaccination. *Students that do not meet these requirements will be required to live off campus (Approved by the Board of Trustees, 2000). If necessary, students with religious or other valid objections may submit a signed waiver to decline the required vaccines. The Vaccination Waiver form is available in the Student Health Services Webpage.

All full-time students are required to have health insurance. If you have private coverage, you must complete the insurance waiver and provide the name of the insurance carrier and the policy number to opt out of the pre-billed plan offered through UnitedHealthcare. Online students are not required to provide proof of health insurance.

All students-especially those with chronic or ongoing health conditions - are encouraged to visit Student Health Services to discuss any health concerns and to make an introductory connection. We hope you feel supported and welcomed as you navigate your healthcare needs and new independence.
