For incoming Undergraduates, including Athletes and International Students:
Log on to MyArcadia, which will allow you access to the patient portal.
If your immunizations are month/year, just enter "01" as the day, for example, your immunization record states 3/94, enter 03/01/1994.
Your high school or previous college or university should have a record of all your childhood immunizations. If you are unable to access any of your childhood immunization records, ask your doctor to obtain titers to prove immunity.
For immunizations other than Meningitis, you will be able to get your room assignment and start classes as scheduled. Students get four notices throughout the beginning of the semester. If you do not become compliant and meet the University requirements, you will be put on “health hold,” which will prevent you from registering for classes in the upcoming semester or studying abroad.
If you do not have a Meningitis Vaccination or appropriate documentation for immunization exemption, you will be required to receive the vaccination to remain on campus.
Student Health Services requires immunization compliance of all students. Student athletes are responsible for turning in required documentation to BOTH Athletics and Student Health Services. Athletes can upload the same physical exam required for the Athletic Department. After four notices to obtain records for compliance, students are put on health hold and cannot register for the upcoming semester.
Immunizations other than Meningitis: Student Health Services requires any student who choosing to not receive medical vaccinations due to medical, religious, or philosophical reasons must present appropriate documentation that is certified by a Religious Leader or Medical Physician.
Meningitis: Pennsylvania State Law requires college students living on campus to have a Meningitis Vaccination. If you are choosing to waive out of the Meningitis Vaccination due to medical, religious, or philosophical reasons, you must fill out the Meningitis Waiver Form as well as schedule an appointment at Student Health Services in order to go over literature regarding the Meningitis Vaccine.
