  • Two measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations
  • Meningococcal meningitis vaccination within the last five years and after the age of 16
Submit your records using the Health Services Patient Portal. You can log in using your SU NetID and password.

Be Well SU
Mark your calendar with these required events!

A healthy mind, body, spirit and community helps you thrive and succeed inside and outside the classroom. We offer students a multitude of health and wellness opportunities and services - ranging from mental health counseling, to peer education programs, to mindfulness activities, to intramural sports and recreation.

As a new student in spring 2019, you will also be required to participate in:
  • Interactive health and wellness modules, hosted on the Everfi online platform, that introduce you to important issues that some college students face. The Everfi modules must be completed by February 11, 2019. Click here for EverFi login instructions. 
  • A performance-based presentation called "Speak About It" held on January 16.
  • Attend a Be Well session hosted by the Office of Health Promotions. Students may choose between one of two sessions offered; Wednesday, January 23 at 7p.m. or Tuesday, January 29 at 5p.m.
Your participation in all three programs is required to register for fall 2019 classes.

To stay up to date on all health and wellness activities, follow @BeWellSU on  Twitter,  Facebook and  Instagram.

Emergency Contact Info on MySlice
Don't leave this information blank! 

Did you know that many SU students choose to leave their emergency contact data screen blank? We believe that it is because you do not want us sharing information with your parents/family members without your permission; which, of course, is illegal, and not the purpose of this info screen at all.
 
The emergency contact data on  MySlice is used by University personnel for notification of someone in case of emergency if you are unable to do so yourself. In fact, the University does not mandate that this contact be a parent or guardian; it can be another relative or even a friend. The most important part is that this section is NOT left blank.
 
Log in to your  MySlice account and make sure that your emergency contact information is completed!

Learn your SU Traditions!
National Orange Day

National Orange Day began on March 24, 1994, in commemoration of SU Founders Day. Alumni from around the world are asked to show their pride by sporting the color orange on the University's anniversary. SU students and others participate in service oriented activities. Organized by the Traditions Commission and the Office of Alumni Engagement, this day has hopes of being a legacy for years to come.
